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
The film follows a man grappling with his relationships and personal desires. It blends real experiences with a fictional story, touching on love, sexuality, and identity in early 1960s Quebec.

What happens
À tout prendre (released as All Things Considered in English Canada and as Take It All in the United States) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Claude Jutra and released in 1963. The film stars Jutra and Johanne Harrelle. The film is widely recognized as one of the inaugural films of a new wave of Quebecois cinema for a secular and progressive independent nation. The film was made with the intention to blend documentary aesthetics with a fictional narrative. Jutra described it as a "re-happening" of events from his life, made "in the manner of Rouch." The film depicted taboo subjects of adultery, interracial sexuality, abortion, and homosexuality. It was his first film made outside the National Film Board. The film's ending, in which Jutra's character walks off a pier into a river and presumably drowns, eerily foreshadowed his own death in 1986. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
