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
I Lived on Parker Avenue is a 2018 documentary film. It follows adoptee David Scotton as he travels from his home in Metairie, Louisiana, to Indiana to meet his birth parents — Melissa Coles and Brian Nicholas — for the first time. Scotton gave a speech in 2011 at his high school about his adoption story, which caught the attention of Benjamin Clapper, executive director of the anti-abortion group Louisiana Right to Life, who would go on to produce the documentary. I Lived on Parker Avenue inspired the 2022 feature-length drama film Lifemark. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
