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 Golden Anchor (German: Zum goldenen Anker) is a 1932 German-French drama film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Albert Bassermann, Ursula Grabley, and Mathias Wieman. It is the German-language version of the French film Marius (1931), also directed by Korda, and based on Marcel Pagnol's 1929 play of the same title and the first part of his Marseille trilogy. A separate Swedish-language version, titled Longing for the Sea and directed by John W. Brunius, was also released in 1931. Such multi-language versions were common during the early years of sound. It was made at the Joinville Studios by the European branch of Paramount Pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
