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
Magnificent Obsession is a 1954 American melodrama film directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, and Barbara Rush. It is a remake of the 1935 film, starring Irene Dunne and Robert Taylor. Both film versions are adapted from the 1929 novel Magnificent Obsession by Lloyd C. Douglas. Sirk sometimes claimed that the story was based distantly on the Greek legend of Alcestis. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
