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
Deaf to the City (French: Le sourd dans la ville) is a 1987 Canadian drama film, written and directed by Mireille Dansereau and based on the novel with the same name by Marie-Claire Blais. The film stars Angèle Coutu as Florence, a woman who moves into a seedy hotel in downtown Montreal after her husband leaves her, befriending the hotel's owner Gloria (Béatrice Picard) and her deaf son Mike (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge). The film was entered into the main competition at the 44th edition of the Venice Film Festival. In his 2003 book A Century of Canadian Cinema, Gerald Pratley referred to it as "a bleak story to read, and an even bleaker film to watch". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
