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
The Dead Water (French: Les Eaux mortes) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Guy Édoin and released in 2006. The second film in his "Les Affluents" trilogy of short films on rural themes, following The Bridge (Le pont) in 2004 and preceding Beyond the Walls (La Battue) in 2008, the film stars Monique Miller as a deceased woman whose ghost is haunting her widower (Gabriel Gascon). The film won the Prix Jutra for Best Short Film at the 9th Jutra Awards in 2007.
