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 clumsy but good-hearted man falls for a beautiful woman who is a fan of a famous composer. To impress her, he pretends to be that composer, which leads to a series of comic misunderstandings and musical performances.
