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 World War II soldier with limited understanding and his needy wife struggle through their relationship during the war. The story follows their personal dramas.

What happens
Absent Without Leave is a 1992 New Zealand drama film directed by John Laing and starring Craig McLachlan. It was entered into the 18th Moscow International Film Festival. It was summed up by Russell Edwards of Filmnews as "an incomprehensible WW2 soap opera about a dimwitted soldier (Craig McLachlan) and his whining clinging wife (Katrina Hobbs)."
