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

Andalusia (French: Andalousie) is a 1951 French-Spanish musical film directed by Robert Vernay and starring Luis Mariano, Carmen Sevilla and Arlette Poirier. Part of the tradition of operetta films, it is based on an operetta composed by Francis Lopez. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and on location around Seville and filmed in Gevacolor. The film's sets were designed by the art director Guy de Gastyne. A separate Spanish-language version The Dream of Andalusia was also produced, directed by Luis Lucia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
