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 young ambitious lawyer joins a prestigious firm and quickly finds success. He discovers his clients use shady mafia-like methods. A major client drags him into illegal activities and he is forced to cooperate with customs authorities against his will.

What happens
L'Avocat est un film dramatique français réalisé par Cédric Anger, sorti en 2010. Léo Demarsan est un jeune avocat promis à un avenir brillant. Il est spécialisé dans le droit pénal. Ses plaidoiries assurent au cabinet d'affaires qu'il vient d'intégrer, un succès rapide. Mais Léo découvre vite que certains clients qu'il défend utilisent des méthodes douteuses, dignes des pratiques mafieuses. Un gros client l'entraîne dans des pratiques illégales et le jeune avocat se retrouve piégé et doit, contre son gré, collaborer avec l'administration des douanes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
