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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
La Sonate pour piano no 2 de Chopin en si bémol mineur, op. 35, est une sonate pour piano seul composée par Frédéric Chopin. Elle a été écrite principalement en 1839 à Nohant, le troisième mouvement dit « Marche funèbre » ayant été composé en 1837. Cette sonate comprend quatre mouvements et dure environ vingt-cinq minutes. Elle fut mal accueillie par les critiques de l'époque qui lui reprochèrent un manque de cohérence. Robert Schumann ne l'a pas comprise non plus et a suggéré que Chopin « avait regroupé quatre de ses enfants les plus turbulents ». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
