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

Fabulous Lola (German: Die tolle Lola) is a 1927 German silent comedy film directed by Richard Eichberg and starring Lilian Harvey, Harry Halm and Hans Junkermann. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jacek Rotmil. It was made at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin. The film is based on an operetta of the same name from 1919 by Hugo Hirsch (1884–1961), which in turn was based on Gustav Kadelburg's 1906 play Der Weg zur Hölle (The Road to Hell). The operetta was filmed again in 1954. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
