Manthana
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
Manthana (Kannada: ಮಂಥನ) is a 2007 Indian Kannada soap opera, which aired on ETV Kannada. The serial portrayed the challenges faced by individuals and social classes when they try being thoughtful in their actions ( Manthana literally transliterates as Churning). The show started in 2007. The director is S. N. Sethuram who has acted in T. N. Seetharam's series of Maya Mruga, Manvanthara and Muktha (TV series). He is also a retired Commerce Officer. There are three prime strong characters that of a Mother and her two daughters (one being her own and other step but groomed without any distinction) who are shown in different sets of society and the way they face challenges. The Mother is self-respecting, tough character who takes responsibility being a second wife, now a widow but still a very practicing fundamentally religious woman (void of superstitions). The elder daughter is a gold medalist in her degree academics but is deeply rooted with the family values and displays typical housemaker character having husband, son and a daughter. The younger daughter is an Indian Revenue Services officer who runs away from family and marries her love. The ideological clashes of these central characters and the related ones to them are the mainstay of the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
