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.

What happens

Two Women (French: L'empreinte du Dieu) is a 1940 French drama film directed by Léonide Moguy and starring Pierre Blanchar, Annie Ducaux and Blanchette Brunoy. It is based on the novel Sein Vermächtnis by Maxence Van der Meersch. The film's sets were designed by the art director Robert Gys. Delays due to the outbreak of the Second World War led to the replacement of the original leads Dita Parlo and Mila Parély. It was one of the last French films completed before the German occupation. The New York Times called it a "flimsy and dismal affair". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
