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 famous singer gets caught up in romantic entanglements and faces the consequences of his wandering eye. The film treats his affairs as something playful rather than scandalous.

What happens
The Prodigal is a 1931 Pre-Code early talkie film starring Lawrence Tibbett, Esther Ralston, Roland Young and Hedda Hopper. The film was extremely provocative in its time in that it viewed adultery in a non-judgmental, even positive light. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
