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
Hr. Dencker er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1960. Film om den 40-årige Erik Dencker, der er hel og delvis lam i hhv. højre og venstre side af overkroppen, efter han blev ramt af polio som 6-årig. Filmen følger Dencker i sin morgenrutine, der indbefatter etagevask, tandbørstning, påklædning m.v.. Til trods for sine omfattende lammelser klarer Dencker alt selv vha. kreative metoder. Bl.a. bruger han fødderne til at tage sokker på, munden til at lukke sit ur og kun en enkelt hånd til at binde sit slips. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
