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

《野山》（英語：In the Wild Mountain）改编自著名作家贾平凹小说《鸡窝洼人家》，由颜学恕导演，影片1986年由西安电影制片厂出品。片中“换妻”等内容由于涉及传统伦理道德和农村政策，在当年中国内地引起广泛的争议，甚至一度险些失去参赛金鸡奖的资格。最终获得了第六届中国电影金鸡奖包括最佳影片在内的六项大奖。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
