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

『サザエさんの青春』（サザエさんのせいしゅん）は、1957年12月28日に公開された日本映画。製作・配給は東宝。カラー、スタンダード。 磯野家に、サザエとマスオの婚約の使者として山中老人が来た。早速サザエは花嫁修業を開始するが、壊れ物の連発でメチャクチャ。さらにデパートにアルバイトに行っても失敗ばかり。そんな時サザエは、ある奥様に親切にするが、その人は波平が勤めている会社の専務夫人で、彼女はサザエを気に入り、自分の息子の嫁にしたいと言い出し、サザエはオロオロ。とりあえずサザエは波平の顔を立て、夫人の招待パーティに出席。ところがその席に、九州出張中と思ったマスオが現れ、この席をサザエと専務夫人の息子との交際と誤解して、怒って去ってしまった。しかし波平の努力で誤解が解けた。それから数日後、町内で運動会が行われ、サザエは一等賞を取った。その中身は夫婦茶碗だった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
