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
You Can't Tell Him is a 1971 Taiwanese drama film directed by Sung Tsun-shou, based on Chiung Yao's 1969 novel. The film stars Gua Ah-leh and Peter Yang. Gua Ah-leh also sang the theme song, composed by Liu Chia-chang with lyrics by Chiung Yao. (The song was later covered by many artists, like Tsai Chin and Fei Yu-ching.
