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 Big Streets (Greek: Megaloi dromoi) is a 1953 Greek drama film directed by Grigoris Grigoriou and starring Dinos Dimopoulos, Liana Liapi and Giannis Argyris. It was neorealist in style. Its failure at the box office led Grigoriou to turn to making more potentially commercial films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
