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 an all-girls high school, a pair of students fall in love but their relationship is discovered. After one of them dies by suicide, the other student experiences ghostly phenomena that intertwine with the school's dark secrets.

What happens
Memento Mori (Korean: 여고괴담 두번째 이야기: 메멘토 모리; lit. 'Second Ghost Story in a Girls' High: Memento Mori') is a 1999 South Korean horror film, and the second installment of the Whispering Corridors film series. It is a sequel to 1998's Whispering Corridors, and is also set in an all-girls high school, but the films are otherwise unrelated. Memento Mori was one of the first Korean commercial films to depict lesbian characters. However, prevailing Korean attitudes constrained its potential to be widely viewed, even more so as the controversial themes targeted the teen demographic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
