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

Wine Cellars (Spanish: La bodega) is a 1930 French-Spanish film directed by Benito Perojo and starring Colette Darfeuil, Valentín Parera and Enrique Rivero. It was originally made as a silent film, with sound added later. Based on the film's reputation, Perojo was invited to Hollywood to make Spanish-language films for the major studios. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris and on location in Cádiz and Seville. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Carré. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
