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
The Perfect Husband is the debut feature film of Priya Singh Paul, an Indian-Jewish filmmaker. Trained in filmmaking in India and the US, she has built a considerable reputation for herself in India's competitive and demanding television scene. The film, a romantic comedy cum social satire, predominantly in English with a smattering of Hindi and Punjabi, is a modern and thought-provoking look at the Indian marriage 'game' – the quest for the only security symbol that most Indian women possess: a husband, perfect or otherwise! The film was invited to the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2003 and shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
