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
Take Shelter is a 2011 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. The plot follows a young husband and father (Shannon) who, plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself and his increasing worry over having paranoid schizophrenia. The film won two Saturn Awards—Best Writing for Nichols, and Best Actor for Shannon—and was nominated for two more, Best Horror or Thriller Film, and Best Actress, for Chastain. It explores themes of masculinity, mental illness, and the lengths people go to protect the ones they love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
