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

Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie (Japanese: 攻殻機動隊 新劇場版, Hepburn: Kōkaku Kidōtai Shin Gekijō-ban; lit. 'Mobile Armored Riot Police: The New Movie Edition'), also known in Japan as Ghost in the Shell: The Movie or New Ghost in the Shell, is a 2015 Japanese animated science fiction film directed by Kazuya Nomura. A continuation of the Ghost in the Shell: Arise original video animation, The New Movie is the first film in the series since Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Solid State Society in 2006, and the first theatrical film since Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence in 2004. The film is a continuation of Pyrophoric Cult (the final episode of Arise), and ties up loose ends from that arc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
