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
The Harvest (released as Can't Come Out to Play in Europe) is a 2013 American horror thriller film released by IFC Films that was directed by John McNaughton. It was the first feature film he directed in over a decade (since Speaking of Sex in 2001) and his first horror project since Haeckel's Tale, a 2006 episode of the anthology series Masters of Horror. The movie had its world premiere on October 19, 2013, at the Chicago International Film Festival, and follows a young girl (Natasha Calis) who befriends a seemingly lonely and confined boy her own age, only to fall afoul of his mother. In a 2017 interview, McNaughton said that the film "has the bones of a fairy tale. It’s about growing up and having to break free from your parents. Your parents want your heart and you can’t let them take it. You have to break away and make your own life." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
