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
In the 9th century two Viking brothers are separated as children. One is raised in England and the other in Scandinavia. They meet again as adults on opposite sides of a war between the English and the Vikings.

What happens
Erik the Conqueror (Italian: Gli invasori, lit. "The invaders") is a 1961 epic swashbuckling film directed by Mario Bava and starring George Ardisson and Cameron Mitchell as long-lost Viking brothers in the 9th century, one of whom is raised in England, the other in Scandinavia. They finally meet after almost 20 years, as rivals on opposite sides of an English–Viking war. It is a loose remake of the American film The Vikings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
