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
Two young gang members drift through the streets of Taipei, getting caught up in violence and a drug deal gone wrong. The film follows their downward spiral as they try to survive in a harsh criminal underworld.

What happens
Dust of Angels (Chinese: 少年吔，安啦！; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Siàu-liān--ê, an lah!) is a 1992 Taiwanese crime film directed by Hsu Hsiao-ming, executive produced by Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien. It was entered into Directors' Fortnight at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. "An lah" (安啦) is a Taiwanese Hokkien colloquialism; the title in full roughly translates to "take it easy, lad" or "cool it, kid." This also is the final film acted by Tan Chih-kang before he died due to the traffic accident in September 5, 1993. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
