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
Svaty (Ukrainian: «Свати»; Russian: «Сваты», lit. 'Matchmakers' or 'The In-Laws') is a Ukrainian, Russian-language comedy series from the production company Kvartal 95 Studio. In total, seven seasons were created, along with the musical Novogodniye Svaty ("New Year's In-Laws"). Also, a television program called Svaty u plity ("In-Laws at the Stove"). Premiere screenings of the series aired on the TV channels Russia-1 (Russia), ICTV (season 1), Inter (seasons 2–5), and 1+1 (seasons 6 and 7, Ukraine). On 23 November 2017, featured actor Fyodor Dobronravov was banned from entering Ukraine for three years for publicly supporting the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea. The series itself was banned for broadcast in Ukraine on 29 November 2017. In connection with the ban, the shooting of the seventh season was suspended. 1+1 filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Culture over the ban on Svaty. The court suspended the ban. On 17 May 2018, the District Administrative Court of the city of Kyiv held the first court session, which began consideration of the case of Svaty. On 27 March 2019, this court revoked the ban. In 2019, Svaty was criticised by the Experts' Commission of the Ukrainian State Film Agency (Derzhkino) for containing Ukrainophobic tropes and themes of "backwardness". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
