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
Amour (pronounced [a.muʁ]; lit. 'Love') is a 2012 romantic drama film written and directed by Michael Haneke, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva and Isabelle Huppert. The narrative focuses on an elderly couple, Anne and Georges, who are retired music teachers with a daughter who lives abroad. One morning during breakfast, Anne has a stroke, and the ensuing complications reshape their lives. The film is an international co-production among the French, German, and Austrian companies Les Films du Losange, X Filme Creative Pool, and Wega Film. Amour premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or, making Haneke the second filmmaker to win twice consecutively. The film garnered widespread critical acclaim for its direction, screenplay, and performances by Trintignant and Riva. It is widely regarded by critics as one of the greatest films of the 21st century. Amour won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for Austria, and four nominations—including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress—at the 85th Academy Awards, among numerous other accolades.
