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 man shows up to propose marriage to his neighbor, but their conversation quickly turns into a series of petty arguments. The two characters bicker over land and other trivial matters, nearly ruining the proposal. It is a simple adaptation of a Chekhov one-act comedy.
