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
Broken is a 2012 British coming-of-age drama film directed by Rufus Norris in his feature directorial debut. The screenplay, written by Mark O'Rowe, is based on Daniel Clay's 2008 novel of the same name and inspired by Harper Lee's 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The film stars Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy, and Eloise Laurence, with Rory Kinnear, Robert Emms, Zana Marjanović, Clare Burt, Bill Milner, and Denis Lawson in supporting roles. It tells the story of a young girl in North London whose life changes after witnessing a violent attack. The film premiered at the 65th Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2012, and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2013, by StudioCanal. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who mostly praised Norris' direction and the performances of the cast. At the 15th British Independent Film Awards, it earned a leading nine nominations and won in two categories: Best British Independent Film and Best Supporting Actor (for Kinnear). Norris was nominated for the European Discovery at the 25th European Film Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
