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 on leave from military service in the Arctic gets sent to Paris for a special mission. His commanding officer expects him to get into a scandal to prove a point about soldiers falling in love too easily. Things get more complicated when a woman from the base shows up to keep an eye on him.
