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
A Litre of Tears (1リットルの涙, 1 Rittoru no Namida; literally "1 Litre of Tears") is a film based on Aya Kito (木藤亜也, Kitō Aya; July 19, 1962 – May 23, 1988)'s memoir, 1 Litre no Namida.

Dr. Yamamoto discovers that Aya has spinocerebellar ataxia, a fatal and incurable disease that handicaps the body.
