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 quiet post office worker gets caught in a robbery and must choose between saving himself or helping a wounded colleague. The film follows the aftermath of that choice and the moral weight it places on him.

What happens
Two Living, One Dead (also known as Två Levande Och En Död) is a 1961 British-Swedish existentialist thriller film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring Patrick McGoohan, Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. It was written by Asquith and Lindsay Galloway. The film is a remake of the 1937 Norwegian film To levende og en død, which in turn was adapted from the novel of the same name by author Sigurd Christiansen. The Scandinavian small-town setting of the earlier film was kept but the action was moved to Sweden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
