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.
How it feels
Two families, one white and one black, swap racial appearances using makeup to live as the other race. The show follows their experiences and the social reactions they encounter as a social experiment.

What happens
Black. White. is an American reality television series that aired on FX. The series premiered on March 8, 2006, and supposedly documented two voluntary families of three, one white, and the other black, in which, through studio-quality make-up, the two families would portray a race that isn't their own as a social experiment. It garnered controversy for its subject matter and perceived reinforcement of racial stereotypes. The show was produced and created by Ice Cube and R. J. Cutler. The series' theme song was "Race Card", performed by Ice Cube and produced by Warren G. The series ran for five weeks ending with a double episode finale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
