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
An interpreter at UNESCO investigates the supposedly accidental death of a writer. She learns he was preparing a book about Nazis in Latin America and had discovered someone providing false passports for their return to Europe. Her search for the forger takes her from Paris to Brussels and becomes dangerous.

What happens
La Mémoire courte est un film franco-belge d'Eduardo de Gregorio, sorti en 1979. Judith Mesnil, interprète à l'UNESCO, est amenée à enquêter sur la mort prétendument accidentelle de l'écrivain Marcel Jaucourt, dont on l'a chargée de rassembler les derniers écrits. Elle apprend que le défunt préparait un ouvrage sur certains nazis réfugiés en Amérique latine et avait découvert qu'un individu aux multiples identités leur procurait de faux passeports afin qu'ils puissent regagner l'Europe incognito. De Paris à Bruxelles, l'enquête de Judith la met à la fois sur la piste du mystérieux passeur et dans une situation critique. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
