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
My Name Is Baghdad (Portuguese: Meu nome é Bagdá) is a Brazilian coming-of-age drama film, directed by Caru Alves de Souza and released in 2020. Adapted from Toni Brandão's young adult novel Bagda, o Skatista, the film stars Grace Orsato as Bagdá, a teenage girl in São Paulo whose status as a misfit in the city's predominantly male skateboarding community is transformed for the better when she finally meets a group of female skateboarders with whom she doesn't have to downplay her femininity to be accepted. The cast also includes Karina Buhr, Gilda Nomacce and Paulette Pink. The film premiered in the Generation 14Plus at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival, where it was named the winner of the Grand Prix of the International Jury. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
