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.

What happens
Returning Home (Norwegian: Å vende tilbake) is a 2015 Norwegian drama film directed by Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken. It was one of three films shortlisted by Norway to be their submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it lost out to The Wave. The film received several reviews with "die throws" of 4 in Dagsavisen, Bergensavisen, and 3 in VG, Aftenposten, and Dagbladet. Å vende tilbake was previously the Norwegian title of Pedro Almodóvar's film Volver. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
