The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

6600ボルト(ろくせんろっぴゃくぼると)は、ミュージシャンであり画家でもある伝説のロッカー「山部善次郎」を追った下本地崇監督による日本映画。2015年公開。 14歳の時に高圧電線で6600ボルトに感電、左目と鼻を失い、少年期に壮絶な治療生活を過ごした山部善次郎。その後、満足のいく治療、顔の整形には至らずとも音楽への情熱、また家族や仲間の存在で次第に乗り越え、博多のロックの隆盛期を根底から支える伝説のロッカーと呼ばれるまでになる。しかし数々の逸話の裏側には彼の心を蝕む6600ボルトの消えない傷があることを知ることに。そしてその傷は2011年の東日本大震災へと重なって行く。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
