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
Montreal Blues is a Canadian improvisational drama film, directed by Pascal Gélinas and released in 1972. Created in collaboration with the Grand Cirque ordinaire, a Montreal theatre troupe active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the film centres on a group of young people living in a housing commune, who decide to open a health food restaurant together. The core roles were portrayed by troupe members Paule Baillargeon, Jocelyn Bérubé, Raymond Cloutier, Suzanne Garceau, Claude Laroche and Guy Thauvette, with Ginette Anfousse, Francine Lapan, Gilbert Sicotte, Josée Yvon and Mylène Demongeot in supporting roles.
