The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 Fairy Doll (German: Die Puppenfee) is a 1936 Austrian romance film directed by E.W. Emo and starring Adele Sandrock, Magda Schneider and Paul Hörbiger. It is based on the 1888 ballet work by the same name composed by Josef Bayer, owing more to the score than the libretto. The film's sets were designed by the art director Julius von Borsody. It marked the screen debut of future star Hilde Krahl. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
