The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Debout les crabes, la mer monte ! est un film français réalisé par Jean-Jacques Grand-Jouan, sorti en 1983. Le programme de Marthe à sa sortie de prison est clair. Elle envisage de se rendre à Nantes pour se venger, mais voilà que le sort en décide autrement. Privée d'homme pendant plusieurs années d'incarcération, Marthe ne tient plus. Dans le train, c'est Louis Paimbœuf, un professeur de géographie, qui fait l'objet de son choix. Bouleversé, le brave homme lui propose de séjourner quelque temps chez lui pour se refaire une santé avant de reprendre sa route. Selon lui, sa femme Agnès sera ravie d'aider Marthe à se réinsérer. Marthe s'installe donc chez les Paimbœuf... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
