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 police unit in Hong Kong takes on drug traffickers shortly after the anti-corruption commission is formed. The movie follows honest officers as they work to bring down the dealers.

What happens
《跳灰》（英語：Jumping Ash）是1976年上映的一部香港電影，由梁普智和蕭芳芳執導，陳欣健編劇，陳星、蕭芳芳和陳惠敏主演。《跳灰》被視為香港1970年代「新浪潮電影」的先驅，其拍攝手法、劇本及人物描寫皆與之前的香港電影大為不同。《跳灰》拍攝於廉政公署成立後，描寫警務處對付毒販的故事。編劇陳欣健出身於香港警界，故此對劇中的警察描寫寫實，而且為具有正義感之正面人物，與此前香港電影中形象化的探長角色截然不同；故此，《跳灰》亦被視為香港電影中首部真正的警匪片。除此以外，電影歌曲〈大丈夫〉及〈問我〉至今仍然是粵語流行曲中的經典。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
