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
Two young brothers move to a new neighborhood with their family. They watch their father act submissively toward his boss which makes them lose respect for him.

What happens
I Was Born, But... (大人の見る絵本 生れてはみたけれど, Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo; lit. "An Adult's Picture Book View — I Was Born, But...") is a 1932 black-and-white Japanese silent comedy film directed by Yasujirō Ozu. It was the first of six Ozu films to win the Kinema Junpo Award for Best Film of the Year. In 1959, Ozu loosely remade the film as Good Morning. The film's story centers on two young brothers whose faith in their father, an office worker, is shaken by what they perceive as his kowtowing to the boss. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
