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

Schicksal am Lenkrad ist ein mit bescheidensten Mitteln und mit weitgehend unbekannter Besetzung hergestellter, österreichischer Spielfilm aus dem Jahre 1954 des italienischen Kommunisten Aldo Vergano, ein seltenes Beispiel für eine sozialkritische Geschichte des frühen österreichischen Nachkriegskinos. Für den überzeugten Sozialisten Vergano war dies der letzte Film, er starb 1957. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
