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 Memories (French: Les Beaux Souvenirs) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Francis Mankiewicz and released in 1981. Identified by film critics as a spiritual if not literal sequel to his previous film Good Riddance (Les Bons débarras), the film stars Julie Vincent as Viviane, a young woman returning home for the first time since running away several years earlier. The film also stars Monique Spaziani as Viviane's sister Marie, who has an incestuous relationship with their father (Paul Hébert); Andrée Lachapelle as their mother, who also abandoned the family years earlier; and Rémy Girard as their mother's new partner. The film received three Genie Award nominations at the 3rd Genie Awards: Best Actress (Spaziani), Best Screenplay (Réjean Ducharme) and Best Original Score (Jean Cousineau).
