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
A substitute teacher arrives at a small island school and forms a choir with the students. Together they prepare for a national music competition.

What happens
Have a Song on Your Lips (くちびるに歌を, Kuchibiru ni uta o) is a 2015 Japanese film directed by Takahiro Miki and based on a novel of the same title by Eiichi Nakata (a/k/a Otsuichi) published in 2011. The original novel is inspired by a television documentary "Greetings to a 15 year old - Students on the island who walked with songs" (broadcast by NHK in May 2009), which depicts the interaction between Angela Aki (the songwriter of "Letter: Greetings to a 15 Year Old" which was an assigned song for the NHK National School Music Competition in 2008) and junior high school students on Wakamatsu Island in the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture. The novel has been adapted into a novel for children as well as a manga of the same title (by Taishi Mori). The film was released on February 28, 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
