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
La Totale! (English: The Total, a French expression roughly meaning "the complete package") is a 1991 French spy comedy film directed by Claude Zidi and starring Thierry Lhermitte, Miou-Miou, Eddy Mitchell and Michel Boujenah. It centers on a spy (Lhermitte) who lives a double life as an ordinary white collar worker, with his family unaware of his true identity. Meanwhile his wife (Miou-Miou), bored by their monotonous life, begins an affair with a con artist pretending to be a spy (Boujenah). The film was released in France by AMLF on December 18, 1991. It was later the basis for director James Cameron's 1994 action comedy True Lies. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
