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
The Gate of Youth: Part 2 (Japanese: 青春の門 自立篇, Hepburn: Seishun no mon: Jiritsu hen), also known as The Gate of Youth: Independence Chapter, is a 1982 Japanese drama film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara and written by Kôji Takada. It is a direct sequel to the 1981 film The Gate of Youth, which was co-directed by Kurahara and Kinji Fukasaku. Both films are an adaptation of the literary series of the same name by Hiroyuki Itsuki. The Gate of Youth: Part 2 continues the story of Shinsuke Ibuki as he navigates life at Waseda University in the mid-1950s. Compared to the first film, which largely took place in a rural setting, Part 2 is a gritty urban drama. The film once again stars Kōichi Satō in the role of Shinsuke, as well as Kaori Momoi, Kaoru Sugita, Kazama Morio and Mitsuru Hirata. Toei theatrically released The Gate of Youth: Part 2 on January 23, 1982, in Japan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
