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
Concrete Cowboy is a 2020 American coming-of-age Western drama film directed by Ricky Staub from a screenplay by Staub and Dan Walser. Based on the novel Ghetto Cowboy by Greg Neri, it was inspired by the real urban African-American horseriding culture of Philadelphia, specifically, the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club. It stars Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin, Jharrel Jerome, Byron Bowers, Lorraine Toussaint, and Clifford "Method Man" Smith. While the film is completely fictional, several real members of the Fletcher Street riding community play supporting characters who give voice to real issues that the community faces. Concrete Cowboy had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 14, 2020, and was digitally released on Netflix on April 2, 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
