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

Le Jugement de Salomon est un film français muet de court métrage réalisé par Henri Andréani et sorti en 1912. Deux femmes qui se disputent un enfant viennent voir le roi Salomon pour qu'il arbitre leur différend. Le grand roi décide alors que l'on découpe l'enfant en deux. La vraie mère s'écrie, "Oh, Seigneur, que vive ce bébé, donnez-le lui". Ce cri du cœur la révèle comme la vraie mère et Salomon, dans sa grande sagesse, lui donne l'enfant.
