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
This is a film version of Puccini's opera La Boheme. It was staged in a studio with singers lip-syncing to their own pre-recorded performances.

What happens
La Bohème is a 1965 West German film production of the 1896 opera of the same name by Puccini, filmed in a Milan studio and recorded at the Munich Opera. The film director and producer and set designer was the Italian director Franco Zeffirelli; Herbert von Karajan conducted the chorus and orchestra of La Scala and was the artistic supervisor. This is not a stage live recording: the singers mime to their own pre-recordings. Deutsche Grammophon released the film for home media in analog VHS tape format in 1988 and in Digital Video Disc (DVD) format in 1996, 2002 and 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
