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
A department store saleslady secretly marries an architect but her employer fires married women. Her husband ignores her when she becomes pregnant and he later dies in an accident. She eventually marries a coworker who has always loved her.
