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
『賞金稼ぎ』（しょうきんかせぎ）は、1969年8月に公開された日本映画。若山富三郎主演の時代劇で、『賞金稼ぎシリーズ』の第1作。 宝暦2年、オランダ船が江戸湾に現れ徳川幕府に最新式軍用銃を提供する見返りに無条件和親条約の締結を求めてきた。時の将軍・家重に拒絶されたオランダ船は交渉相手を外様大名の雄藩・薩摩に切り替えるべく、帰国すると見せかけ薩摩へと進路を変更した。これを知った幕府は薩摩藩江戸家老・伊集院右京を江戸城に登城させる。薩摩蜂起を我が身に変えても阻止すると誓った伊集院は陸路鹿児島へ向かった。 一方薩摩とり潰しを狙う老中・牧野豊後守は薩摩藩謀反の証拠を掴むため隠密・陽炎を放つ。 内乱を憂う家重は懇意の蘭法医にして凄腕の賞金稼ぎ・錣市兵衛を密かに呼び、伊集院への助力を依頼。市兵衛は装備を整え一路薩摩へと向かう。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
