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 woman in an Italian village has been secretly receiving money from three different American soldiers, each of whom believes he is the father of her daughter. When the soldiers return for a reunion, she must scramble to keep her long-running deception from unraveling.

What happens
Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell is a 1968 American comedy film starring Gina Lollobrigida, Shelley Winters, Phil Silvers, Peter Lawford and Telly Savalas. It was produced and directed by Melvin Frank, who co-wrote the original screenplay with Denis Norden and Sheldon Keller. The United Artists release was filmed at Cinecittà Studios in Rome. It served as the basis for the unsuccessful 1979 stage musical Carmelina. Some critics have also speculated that the 1999 stage musical Mamma Mia!—and, by extension, its 2008 film adaptation—are based on Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell, although the musical's book writer, Catherine Johnson, has denied any connection. The Dutch hit song Als de zon schijnt by André van Duin is a cover version of the theme song of this film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
