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

Code 8 is a 2016 American-Canadian short science fiction action film directed by Jeff Chan, co-written by Chan and Chris Paré. Starring Robbie Amell, Stephen Amell and Sung Kang, the film was expanded into a feature-length project, also titled Code 8. The film is a futuristic vision taking place in a world where 4% of the population are born with some type of superhuman ability. Instead of being billionaire superheroes, most "specials" live in poverty and resort to crime, forcing the police to become more militarized. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
