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

What happens
The Mark of Cain is a BAFTA Award-winning British television film first broadcast in 2007 following two young British soldiers deployed to Iraq as they experience the extremity of war for the first time, and the permanent effects of what they have seen and done as they return from their tour of duty. When a war crime that they took part in comes to light, they must choose whether to keep faith with their fellow soldiers or tell the truth about what happened. The film's title comes from Royal Irish Regiment Colonel Tim Collins's 2003 eve-of-battle speech in Iraq, though the colonel would disavow the film in light of its broadcast date coinciding with the 2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel.
