The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A woman must choose between a wealthy but dull husband and a carefree musician she loved in her past. The story explores love and the compromises people make for security.

What happens
Laughter is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast and starring Nancy Carroll, Fredric March and Frank Morgan. It was shot at the Astoria Studios in New York. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story. Laughter was the final film of Diane Ellis, who died in December, 1930 at the age of 20, as the result of an infection while travelling in India on her honeymoon. Fredric March later cited Laughter as one his favourites of his own films, and it was one of a few of which he retained a print. A copy has been preserved at the Library of Congress. In 1931, a German-language version called The Men Around Lucy was released starring Liane Haid and Lien Deyers. This film is considered lost. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
