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 Pure Truth (Spanish: La pura verdad) is a 1931 American comedy film directed by Florián Rey and Manuel Romero and starring José Isbert, Enriqueta Serrano and Manuel Russell. It was made at the Joinville Studios in Paris by Paramount Pictures, as the Spanish-language version of the studio's 1929 film Nothing But the Truth. Such Multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread. The film's sets were designed by Henri Ménessier and René Renoux. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
