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 man deep in debt takes a job pretending to be the king of a small country. He impersonates the ruler while the real king is away, leading to comedic mix-ups. The actor Vlasta Burian plays both the lookalike and the king.

What happens
Lelíček in the Services of Sherlock Holmes (Czech: Lelíček ve službách Sherlocka Holmese) is a 1932 Czech comedy film directed by Karel Lamač, starring Vlasta Burian. Sherlock Holmes was portrayed by Martin Frič. The main character is František Lelíček, who accepts an offer to act as a double for the Puerto Rican King Fernando XXIII as he is deeply in debt. Vlasta Burian plays both roles. The director Karel Lamač simultaneously shot the French version of the film Le Roi bis with Pierre Bertin in the main double role (while the detective was again played by Frič and the queen by Truda Grosslichtová).
