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 man gets tangled up in a criminal scheme involving blackmail and murder. The story is told through a voice-over that ties together old and new footage.

What happens
The Swap is a 1979 American neo noir crime film directed by Jordan Leondopoulos. Parts of the film are edited from the 1969 film Sam's Song, also directed by Leondopoulos. The remainder consists of extensive reshootings, the different parts tied together by the use of a voice-over. The film was retitled Line of Fire for the American home-video release.
