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
Hiroshima (ひろしま) is a 1953 Japanese docudrama film directed by Hideo Sekigawa about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and its impact on a group of teachers, their students, and their families. The film was based on the eye-witness accounts of the hibakusha children compiled by Dr. Arata Osada for the 1951 best-selling book Children Of The A Bomb: Testament Of The Boys And Girls Of Hiroshima (原爆の子, Genbaku no ko), and was filmed with the support of tens of thousands of Hiroshima residents. Produced with the backing of the Japan Teachers Union, which had also produced the 1952 film Children of Hiroshima, the film's "anti-American" stance and content prevented it from gaining a wide release in Japan.
