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
Confession of a Child of the Century (French: Confession d'un enfant du siècle) is a 2012 historical drama film written and directed by Sylvie Verheyde, based on Alfred de Musset's 1836 autobiographical novel of the same name. The film competed in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. In spite of its selection to the festival, the film gained notoriety as being the lowest-grossing US theatrical release of 2015; it earned US$74 from its one-week, one-theater theatrical run.
