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
La Voleuse, meaning 'the thief', is a 1966 French drama film directed by Jean Chapot, with a screenplay by Marguerite Duras. In German, the film was titled Schornstein Nr. 4 ("Chimney No. 4"). Set in Germany, it tells the story of a childless couple where the wife (Romy Schneider) steals back a little boy she gave away in her teens and the husband (Michel Piccoli) gradually persuades her that the childless couple who lovingly raised the child have the better claim.
