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

中國女兵是一部以中華民國國軍軍旅題材拍攝之勵志电影，為中國電影製片廠攝製，由林青霞、江玲、湯蘭花、夏玲玲、歸亞蕾、應采靈等主演。 溫靜儀、劉小惠、彭碧桃、方淑幾個女孩是無話不談的中學好友。方淑考上了醫學院，其他三人落榜。但她們三人都有一個心願就是從軍，希望在軍營裡也能成才。 溫靜儀的家人反對她從軍，給她製造了不少的阻力，但終於三人都成功入伍。 從普通女孩向中國女兵的轉變是困難的，三人每天都繁忙並充實地度過。溫靜儀是一個很有想法和領導力的女孩，是三人主心骨，也是新兵裡表現最好的。彭碧桃是大大咧咧的開心果，鬧出了不少笑話。而膽小老實的劉小慧卻不幸患上白血病，但她堅持訓練，沒有退縮。 最終三人都完成了新兵訓練，在匯報演習中表現出色，令父母家人倍感欣慰，也成長為了一個保家衛國的中國女兵。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
