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 journalist avoids finishing his book and writes letters for a tabloid while dreaming of escaping to an island. His marriage falls apart, and on the day of his divorce he crashes into a woman who is also newly divorced, starting a fast new romance.
