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

Body Without Soul (Czech: Tělo bez duše) is a 1996 documentary film about a number of underage 14- to 17-year-old boys in Prague who were being sold and abused as child prostitutes. The creator of the documentary, Wiktor Grodecki, interviews the boys about their lives and how they became victims of sex trafficking. The film explores their hopes and fears, and the boys talk about their bodies and souls, money, their sexual orientation, AIDS, their dreams, and death. The film is the second of Grodecki's three films about male prostitution, the others being Not Angels But Angels (1994) and Mandragora (1997). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
