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

What happens
Morphine (Russian: Морфий, romanized: Morphiy) is a 2008 Russian film directed by Aleksei Balabanov, using the script by Sergei Bodrov Jr., loosely based on the semi-autobiographical short stories by Mikhail Bulgakov. The 1925–1926 short stories themselves were inspired by Bulgakov's experiences as a newly graduated young doctor in 1916–18. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
