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.

What happens

『陸軍諜報33』(りくぐんちょうほう33、Army Intelligence 33 )は、1968年の日本映画。主演 : 千葉真一、監督 : 小林恒夫、製作 : 東映。モノクロ・シネマスコープ、88分。 1940年(昭和15年)、陸軍将校・山本和夫は妹の素子と柿沼との結婚式に出席し、幸せに包まれていた。その帰りに身に覚えのない罪で逮捕、軍法会議で位階勲等を剥奪され、懲役刑を言い渡される。これは和夫を陸軍中野学校の四期生へ引き抜き、家族・友人・社会との繋がりを絶つために行われたものであった。和夫は同期のメンバーと共に厳しい訓練を受け、一人前の諜報員に養成されていく。1941年(昭和16年)、卒業した和夫は外国の諜報網を壊滅、北ボルネオでの特殊作戦などの任務に就き、祖国のために粉骨砕身の活躍をする。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
