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
Amazonia (Portuguese: Amazônia) is a 2013 Brazilian-French adventure drama film co-written and directed by Thierry Ragobert. The main character of the film is Sai (Castanha in the Brazilian version), a young capuchin monkey raised in captivity. After a plane crash strands him in the Amazon rainforest, he must find his way amongst the beauty and danger that exists within the Amazon. Though the film's narration lends it the feel of documentary, the story of Sai's struggle is fictionalized. The filmmakers used former pet monkeys from a Brazilian sanctuary to shoot the scenes involving capuchins. The English version is narrated by Martin Sheen. Amazonia was screened out of competition at the 70th Venice International Film Festival and closed the festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
