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

Nagina is an Indian Hindi suspense thriller film directed by Ravindra Dave, released in 1951 under Pancholi Productions. The film stars Nutan and Nasir Khan in lead roles. Nutan's performance in it gained her greater recognition. The film became a commercial success. Nutan was aged 15 at the time of its release, and was thus not allowed to attend its premiere as it was certified "A": (restricted for adults) and she was underage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
