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 new student at a Catholic boys school refuses to participate in a fundraiser run by a secret society of students. His defiance challenges the school's entrenched power structure and sets off a chain of confrontations.

What happens
The Chocolate War is a 1988 American drama film written and directed by Keith Gordon.
