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

Resurrected is a 1989 British drama film directed by Paul Greengrass in his directorial debut. Written by Martin Allen, and starring David Thewlis, it is based on the story of the British soldier Philip Williams. During The Battle of Mount Tumbledown, a night battle during the Falklands War, Guardsman Philip Williams was knocked unconscious by an explosion, and left for dead. When he came to, the rest of the British soldiers had gone. Williams' parents were informed that he had been killed and a memorial service was held for him. When he returned to civilization after seven weeks, he was accused of desertion by the media and fellow soldiers and wrote the book "Summer Soldier" about his experiences. Resurrected premiered at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival in February 1989. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
