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
Sarigama (Sinhala: සරිගම, romanized: Sa Re Ga Ma) is a 2016 Sinhala musical film written and directed by Somaratne Dissanayake and produced by his wife Renuka Balasooriya for Cine Films Lanka. The film stars Pooja Umashankar and Ashan Dias as leading roles while Malini Fonseka and Gayani Gisantika also play key supporting roles. It was released on 2 December 2016 only on EAP 3D cinemas. The film is an adaptation of the 1965 Oscar award-winning musical Sound of Music, which was based on the autobiography of Maria Von Trapp in 1949. Changes were made to suit the local setting, and the film avoids politics altogether; the film ends with the marriage of Maria and the Captain. The film was shot in picturesque hill country areas capturing the natural attractions of the island. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
