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
This is about North African soldiers who fight for France during World War II. They face prejudice and unequal treatment from their own allies while serving on the front lines.

What happens
Days of Glory (French: Indigènes, lit. 'Natives'; Arabic: بلديون, romanized: Baladiyyūn) is a 2006 French war film directed by Rachid Bouchareb. The cast includes Sami Bouajila, Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Roschdy Zem, Mélanie Laurent and Bernard Blancan. The film explores the contributions of North African soldiers to the Free French Forces during World War II and the discrimination they faced. The film's release contributed to the French government's partial recognition of the pension rights of soldiers from the former French colonial empire. Cast members Jamel Debbouze, Samy Naceri, Roschdy Zem, Sami Bouajila and Bernard Blancan all won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival for their performances, and the film won the François Chalais Prize. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
