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
In late 1990s China, two young women meet in a summer English class and quickly become close friends, which grows into a secret romance. Their teacher disapproves of their same-sex relationship, and the pressure eventually separates them. Years later, they reunite by chance and share a quiet conversation about love and lost time.

What happens
《夏日时光》（），2011年12月31日在中国大陆上映的青春爱情片。 故事发生在中国大陆90年代末，两个青年男女相识于暑期英文补习班，张静如聪明伶俐（同性恋），徐子扬害羞腼腆（假小子），两人却迅速一拍即合，成为闺蜜，感情慢慢上升为爱情。因为徐子扬也是女人，补习老师宋老师不认可同性恋，释放出压力使得两人最终没有走到一起。多年之后，徐子扬在街上逛街时，看到自己和张静如的油画贴在一个洗发店内，不由得停下脚步走进店里，喊过几声“有人吗？”之后，张静如从店内走了出来，两人在店里喝起啤酒，聊起家常来，徐子扬问她为什么这么多年没有结婚，张静如回答：“再等等呗……在等对的人”。徐子扬追问，“在等画里的人吗？”张静如沮丧地回答，“过去的就已经过去了，都只是曾经了”。画片停留在两人青年时奔跑在街道上的油画上，响起了片尾曲《夏日时光》。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
