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
Kalichaat is a 70-minute 2018 Indian feature film, set in the Malwa-Nimar region of Western Madhya Pradesh. It follows the hurdles of an Indian farmer in hopes of giving his family a better life. The story transforms into a labyrinth of complex government procedures and a system promoting hopelessness among the "providers of society" such as the farmer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
