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 Earth to Drink (French: La Terre à boire) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jean-Paul Bernier and released in 1964. The film centres on a romance between Patrick (Patrick Straram), a journalist, and Barbara (Geneviève Bujold), a younger art student who ultimately causes Patrick's accidental death. It had a budget of $65,000 and was the first Quebec film to be privately financed. It had difficulties with local censors, reportedly because of a sex scene that was deemed "too intense". The film was not positively reviewed by critics. It became the only film Bernier ever directed, although most of its cast went on to build longer sustained careers in Quebec and international film.
