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.
How it feels
A white Canadian boy and a Black Canadian girl are classmates. The boy mistakenly thinks the girl is from another country because of how she looks. They argue but then realize they share many things and start to become friends.

What happens
Your Country, My Country (French: Dans ton pays...) is a Canadian drama short film, directed by Marquise Lepage and released in 1993. An examination of racism, the film centres on two classmates, a white Canadian boy (Laurent Faubert-Bouvier) and a Black Canadian girl (Fatuma Kayembe), who are drawn into conflict when the boy wrongly assumes that the girl's different physical appearance means she must have been born in a foreign country, but who are ultimately able to get past the initial misunderstanding and begin building a friendship when they discover that they have a lot in common. The film was a Genie Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 14th Genie Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
