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
A comedy series set at a fictional airport where customs agents deal with passengers and each other. The actors improvise their lines based on a plot outline.

What happens
Borderline is a British mockumentary television comedy series devised by Michael Orton-Toliver and Chris Gau. Narrated by Ralf Little, the series launched on 2 August 2016 on Channel 5. The series follows the activity of customs agents working for Borderline, a fictionalised version of the Border Force, at the fictional Northend Airport. In contrast to most series, which require the cast to memorise a script, Borderline is "retro-scripted": the cast is given a plot outline to guide them as they improvise their dialogue and actions. As of December 2016, the series is available on Netflix in select regions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
