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
The film follows three teenage girls over a day and night in Tokyo's Shibuya district. One runs a group of schoolgirls involved in paid dating, another is a street dancer, and the third has saved money to study abroad.

What happens
Bounce Ko Gals (Japanese: バウンス ko GALS, Hepburn: Baunsu ko gyaru) is a 1997 Japanese crime drama film written and directed by Masato Harada. Its alternative English-language titles are Call Girls and Leaving. Filmed in somewhat of a documentary style, it follows the course of three girls for a day and a night in the popular district of Shibuya in Tokyo. The main characters are: Jonko (Hitomi Satō), who runs a group of high-school girls involved in paid dating (in Japanese, Enjo kōsai); Raku (Yasue Sato), a high-schooler and street dancer; and Lisa (Yukiko Okamoto), a student who worked for a year, saving enough money to buy a plane ticket and travel to study in New York City.
