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

Badlido Aakash (The Changing Sky) is a 1983 Nepali social drama film directed by Laxminath Sharma and produced by the state-owned Royal Nepal Film Corporation (RNFC). Written by the prominent Nepali literary figure Bijaya Bahadur Malla, the film stars an ensemble cast including Shiva Shrestha, Sushma Shahi, Harihar Sharma, Subhadra Adhikari, Neer Shah, Tika Pahari, and Santosh Panta. Released on November 8, 1983, the film is regarded as a hallmark project of the "Golden Era" of Nepalese cinema (1981–1990). It explored the generational fractures and shifting moral paradigms in a rapidly urbanizing Nepali society. The film is particularly remembered for its critically acclaimed soundtrack composed by Gopal Yonjan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
