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 screenwriter imagines a murder committed by his wife and a mutual friend in an art gallery. A body is found in a trunk with a severed hand hanging out. The wife becomes unable to get rid of the hand as she feels watched.

What happens
La Main est un film franco--italien réalisé par Henri Glaeser, sorti en 1969. Un scénariste Philippe (Duchaussoy) imagine un crime commis par son épouse Sylvie (Delon) et un ami commun Pierre (Serre) : la scène se passe dans une galerie d'art. Un cadavre est retrouvé dans une malle avec la main qui pend à l'extérieur. La main est coupée. Pierre se débarrasse du corps et Sylvie se charge de la main mais n'arrive pas à s'en défaire car elle a l'impression d'être constamment surveillée. Sylvie et Pierre deviennent amants, le danger plane et le meurtre imaginaire est sur le chemin de s'avérer prophétique... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
