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
In 1930s England, a gifted but rebellious student at an elite boarding school struggles with the school's rigid traditions and his own hidden homosexuality. His friendship with a Marxist classmate and the school's hypocrisy push him toward betrayal.

What happens
Another Country is a 1984 British romantic historical drama written by Julian Mitchell, adapted from his play of the same name. Directed by Marek Kanievska, the film stars Rupert Everett and Colin Firth in his feature film debut. Another Country is loosely based on the life of the spy and double agent Guy Burgess, named Guy Bennett in the film. It explores his homosexuality and exposure to Marxism from a friend, while examining the hypocrisy and snobbery of the English public school system. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
