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
Asian Provocateur is a British comedy travel documentary television series shown on the BBC. In 2015, comedian Romesh Ranganathan reluctantly travels to Sri Lanka after his mother, Shanthi, tells him that he is a "coconut" and that he should meet his relatives who live there and learn about his parents' country—including its culture, religion, and language. In 2016, a second series, Mum's American Dream, was broadcast on BBC one. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
