The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Les Suites d'un premier lit est un moyen métrage français réalisé par Félix Gandéra, sorti en 1934. Trébuchard est un étudiant de 29 ans qui a mené une vie dissipée. Pour pouvoir payer ses nombreuses dettes, il a dû épouser sa logeuse, la veuve Arthur, une femme aisée qui a conservé quelques charmes, mais qui a l'âge d'être sa mère. La veuve décède, lui laissant un petit héritage. Mais elle lui laisse aussi la charge de sa fille Blanche, née d'un premier lit, assez peu gracieuse, et qui a 48 ans. Or Trébuchard est amoureux de la jeune Claire Prudenval qu'il aimerait bien épouser, mais qui est dotée d'un père hypocondriaque, peu accommodant. Trébuchard imagine alors de faire épouser Blanche par M. Prudenval, qui deviendrait ainsi son beau-fils ! (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
