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
Court circuits est un film français de Patrick Grandperret, sorti en 1981. Gérald, ex-champion de compétitions motocyclistes, à la suite d'un accident qui lui a valu de perdre l'usage du bras droit, s'est reconverti dans l'entraînement sportif de jeunes coureurs. Mais comme il ne parvient pas à rentabiliser son affaire, il se compromet dans un cambriolage prévu pour être substantiel et qui, de fil en aiguille, se solde par son arrestation pour détention de quelques drogues dont il ne savait que faire, dérisoire revenu d'un « casse » raté.
