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
Highway of Heartache is a Canadian musical comedy film, directed by Gregory Wild and released in 1994. The film follows the misadventures of Wynona-Sue Turnpike (Barbara Chamberlin, who also wrote the film's score) on a raucous and unlikely road to Nashville superstardom. Backed up by a pair of drag queen guardian angels (played by The Big Wigs), Wynona-Sue faces a variety of indignities including her abusive husband Clive (Serge Houde), the threat of life imprisonment and venereal disease. The film's humor ranged from gross-out to surreal (the heroine's gynecologist was an Elvis Presley imitator), and the entire film was shot on Day-Glo sets designed and built by Wild. The film received a one-night preview screening in Vancouver, Wild's hometown, at a fundraiser for the Vancouver Meals Society on August 11, 1994, before having its official theatrical premiere at the 1994 Toronto International Film Festival.
