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
In 1920s China, a family librarian guards his ancestral books while his adopted son falls for a friend's daughter and plans to elope. Meanwhile, the librarian's daughter marries a man she doesn't love for family reasons, as her true love is a scholar in the library.
