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
Mouna ou le rêve d'un artiste est un film ivoirien réalisé par Henri Duparc, sorti en 1970. Un artiste sculpteur charismatique se trouve plongé dans son monde de création en relayant ses besoins matériels et émotionnels au segond rang. Incomprise et exarcerbée, son épouse Mouna décide de l’abandonner au profit d’un amant qui lui pouvait satisfaire ses besoins corporelles et émotionnelles. Tiraillé de par ces deux mondes opposés , l’artiste sombre dans une profonde dépression. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
