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 children's television series from Australia based on a book. It follows a story for a female audience with unusual sets made from white blocks. The show used clothing dummies as crowds because of its small budget.

What happens
Andra is an Australian children's television series based on the book of the same name, which was broadcast on the ABC Television. The series consists of eight episodes of 30 minute. It had such a small budget that in the background, in crowd scenes, the 'crowd' is actually made up of store clothing dummies. The sets, instead of containing items of furniture, or other articles, are large white blocks piled up on each other. The series targets a female audience but a similar Australian science fiction series, Alpha Scorpio was made a little earlier in the 1970s and aimed at a male audience. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
