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
A man gets caught up in a quirky daydream where he imagines himself as a famous cricketer. The story blends comedy with a touch of science fiction as his fantasy life and reality start to mix.

What happens
As Time Goes By (originally titled The Cricketer) is a 1988 Australian science fiction comedy film directed by Barry Peak and starring Max Gillies, Bruno Lawrence, and Nique Needles. A few bars of the title song (extracted from the film Casablanca) are heard in the Australian version of the film but not in overseas prints, because of its high cost. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
