The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

The Other (German: Der Andere) is a 1930 German drama film directed by Robert Wiene and starring Fritz Kortner, Käthe von Nagy and Heinrich George. It was based on the 1893 play Der Andere by Paul Lindau but it is very likely that Wiene was influenced by its first screen adaptation, released in 1913. It was shot at the Terra Studios in Berlin. A French-language version titled The Prosecutor Hallers was shot by Wiene immediately afterwards in the same Berlin studio, but with different actors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
