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 wealthy family in Victorian-era England is torn apart when a young woman marries for money and status but falls in love with her husband's cousin. The story follows her struggle between duty and desire among the rigid social codes of the Forsyte clan.

What happens
That Forsyte Woman (released in the United Kingdom as The Forsyte Saga) is a 1949 American romantic drama film directed by Compton Bennett and starring Greer Garson, Errol Flynn, Walter Pidgeon, Robert Young and Janet Leigh. It is an adaptation of the 1906 novel The Man of Property, the first book in The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy. Walter Plunkett and Arlington Valles were nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design, Color. The original music score was composed by Bronisław Kaper. Filmink magazine wrote that the movie featured "perhaps Flynn’s most famous 'capital-A-Acting' performance". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
