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
To Find a Man is a 1972 American comedy-drama film directed by Buzz Kulik adapted from the S.J. Wilson novel of the same name, and starring Pamela Sue Martin, Darren O'Connor, and Lloyd Bridges. It centers on the platonic friendship between two teenagers as one attempts to help the other get an abortion. The film premiered in New York City on January 20, 1972 and was entered into competition at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival. Kulik had difficulties in marketing the film due to its controversial subject; newspaper advertisements forbid the use of the word "abortion" in promotions. The film received praise from some critics for its frank, matter-of-fact approach to abortion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
