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.
How it feels
Two girls go to a party dressed as police officers. On their way home late at night, strangers mistake them for real cops and ask for help. They run away from the confused crowd, and ultimately the real police officers get blamed instead.
