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
Four female bodybuilders train for a competition. One of them is much more muscular than the others, which causes disagreements among judges and competitors about what a female bodybuilder should look like.

What happens
Pumping Iron II: The Women is a 1985 documentary film directed by George Butler about female bodybuilding. The film follows four women as they prepare for and compete in a bodybuilding competition. It is a follow-up to Butler's 1977 documentary Pumping Iron, which centered on a male bodybuilding competition, and notably introduced Arnold Schwarzenegger to a wide audience. The film's central drama concerns the participation of Australian powerlifter Bev Francis who is unusually muscular even by the standards of female bodybuilders, sparking debates about the importance and definition of "femininity" in female bodybuilding.
