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
Happy New Year (French: La bonne année) is a 1973 romance and comedy drama film directed by Claude Lelouch. It tells the story of a gangster who organises a successful heist but is himself caught and jailed. Released early, he not only recoups his share of the takings but also regains his girlfriend. The film is edited to present a nonlinear narrative, with the beginning and ending of the film showing the present-day in black-and-white, and the center of the film showing a flashback of the events in color. The film is a French and Italian co-production between the Paris-based Les Films 13 and Rizzoli Film. It performed well in the French box office and earned both Ventura and Fabian the David di Donatello for Best Acting. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
