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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Untold Stories of the E.R. is an American docudrama television series which airs on TLC and Discovery Life. In this program, real-life emergency department doctors discuss their most bizarre and puzzling cases. Typically these involve medical sabotage, violently or strangely acting patients, life-threatening injuries, or even situations in which the E.R. physician is too overwhelmed or unequipped to handle the caseload but cannot transfer responsibility for the patient(s) to someone else. The show follows a docudrama format in which the real-life E.R. physician narrates through a series of "talking head" clips, while their interactions with the patient are reenacted. The doctors often play themselves, and whenever possible, the patients themselves take part in the reenactment as well. In addition, the patients are sometimes shown in brief interviews to explain what happened during their ordeal. Occasionally, patients' names are changed, and actors play their roles. All cases are based on actual events but may have the surrounding circumstances changed for the sake of dramatization and not necessarily accurate from a clinical or technical standpoint. On November 11, 2015, the show was renewed through season 11. The show began its 15th and final season in 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
