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.
How it feels
A melodrama set in Madrid involving characters connected to the Puerta del Sol. It is notable as an early Spanish sound film but was a financial failure.

What happens
El misterio de la Puerta del Sol, del onubense Francisco Elías Riquelme, es considerada como la segunda película española sonora. A diferencia de la primera, Fútbol, amor y toros, sí se conserva una copia. A pesar de sus avances técnicos fue todo un fracaso desde el punto de vista económico, por lo que su importancia es de tipo histórico y documental. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
