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

Ekhrajiha (Persian: اخراجی‌ها, Deportees) is a 2007 Iranian film, written and directed by Masoud Dehnamaki, narrating a story during Iran–Iraq War. The film is Dehnamaki's first feature film, after he directed two documentaries about social problems in Iran. The film had also broken all box-office records in Iran, earning nearly 1 billion toman only twenty-eight days after its release and finishing its run with over 2 billion toman. Additionally the film is one of few Iranian war movies in which the heroes are extremely flawed and shown to commit acts often viewed as "immoral" by authorities in Iran. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
