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 hard-drinking Soviet plumber drifts through life in a small city, ignoring his work and pushing away people who care about him. A chance encounter with a kind woman begins to shake him out of his apathy.
