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
Julius Caesar takes the young Cleopatra under his wing and teaches her how to be a queen in ancient Egypt. The film tracks their growing bond as political turmoil swirls around them.

What happens
Caesar and Cleopatra is a 1945 British historical romantic film directed by Gabriel Pascal which was a film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's 1901 play of the same title. The film stars Vivien Leigh and Claude Rains in the title roles. Some scenes were directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, who took no formal credit. The picture was produced by Independent Producers and Pascal Film Productions and distributed by Eagle-Lion Distributors. Upon release, Caesar and Cleopatra failed to earn back its colossal budget. John Bryan was nominated for an Oscar for Best Art Direction. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
