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 homeless man wandering a port city becomes entangled with a young boy and a woman in danger. A police chase and a theft force the man to make a difficult choice.

What happens
Stranger on the Prowl (Italian: Imbarco a mezzanotte, lit. 'Boarding at midnight') is a 1952 film noir directed by Joseph Losey, written by Ben Barzman, and starring Paul Muni, Joan Lorring, and Vittorio Manuta. A co-production between Italy and the United States, the picture was the first to be made abroad by any blacklisted Hollywood director. Due to the blacklist, both Losey and Barzman were uncredited.
