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
Le Bracelet de bronze est un film sénégalais de 1974. Le thème de l’exode rural a inspiré de nombreux auteurs africains. Autrefois, les jeunes paysans quittaient temporairement leur village pour gagner de l’argent ; aujourd’hui, ils partent sans retour, attirés par les promesses des villes. Issa suit ce chemin et, avant son départ, Aminata lui offre un bracelet de bronze en gage d’amour. Mais la ville se révèle trompeuse : désillusions et malchance s’accumulent, jusqu’à cette nuit fatale où, injustement poursuivi par la police, il meurt dans une chute. À son bras, l’éclat du bracelet demeure, dernier témoignage de son destin brisé. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
