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 kind village girl finds a hidden spring on a mountain but an evil spirit threatens her if she tells anyone. She keeps the secret until the drought becomes unbearable, then risks her life to share the water. A magical tree she once helped comes to her aid and defeats the spirit, and her sacrifice brings life back to the land.

What happens
《長髮妹》是一部中国上海美术电影制片厂制作的木偶片，根据侗族民间传说改编。 很久以前，陡高山下的一座寨子里人烟稀少、寸草不生，寨子里的人过着缺水少粮的穷困生活。寨子里有一个漂亮善良的女孩，名叫长髮妹。一次，长发妹发现一颗老榕树已近干黄，便把搜集到的水给老榕树浇了些，只被浇了半瓢水，老榕树就复活了。 几日后，长发妹在陡高山上发现了甘甜的泉水。此时，山妖出现，他将泉水又堵住，并威胁妹不要将山上有泉水的事情告诉寨子中的人，否则就要夺取全寨子的人的性命。长发妹由于长期忧虑、痛苦，头发渐渐由黑变白。寨子中的水一天天难找，长发妹终忍不住把陡高山上有泉水的事情说了出来。寨子的人获得了泉水，而愤怒的山妖却欲折磨死长发妹。被长发妹救助过的老榕树化身出现，帮助战胜了山妖。长发妹的头发化成瀑布，大地又恢复了生机。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
