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 Australian expatriate runs a bar in a Southeast Asian city. He gets caught up in a love triangle and political intrigue when an old flame and her husband arrive.

What happens
Far East is a 1982 Australian drama film directed by John Duigan and starring Bryan Brown, Helen Morse and John Bell. Far East has many similarities to the 1942 classic Casablanca. Filmink said it was "part of Australian cinema’s (brief as it turned out) interest in Asia in the early '80s". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
