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 duke is banished after a duel with his wife's lover. The duchess and their daughter move to America where the daughter dies. The duchess returns to Italy with a young companion who everyone thinks is her daughter. The duke returns and wants this companion to marry for the family honor, but she loves an American artist. The truth about her identity comes out and they are free to be together.
