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 film about life in Afghanistan. It follows the story of a person dealing with everyday challenges and dreams for a better future.

What happens
Utopia is a 2015 Afghan drama film directed by Hassan Nazer and produced by Chris Robb. The film was selected as the Afghan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated. However, it was disqualified a few days prior to its Academy screening for having too much dialogue in English. The Afghan filmmakers union tried to appeal, citing the language breakdown by minutes, but the appeal was unsuccessful. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
