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
The Soft Skin (French: La peau douce) is a 1964 romantic drama film directed by François Truffaut and starring Jean Desailly, Françoise Dorléac and Nelly Benedetti. Written by Truffaut and Jean-Louis Richard, it follows a married successful writer and lecturer who meets and has an affair with a flight attendant half his age. The film was shot on location in Paris, Reims, and Lisbon, and several scenes were filmed at Paris-Orly Airport. At the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or. Despite Truffaut's recent success with Jules and Jim and The 400 Blows, The Soft Skin did not do well at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
