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
La Poupée ("The Doll") is a 1962 French-Italian science fiction film directed by Jacques Baratier. It was entered into the 12th Berlin International Film Festival. It was Baratier's final film. La Poupée is a surrealistic work, "part theater of the absurd, part musical with Greek chorus". Grand Guignol In La Poupée, a rebel impersonates the leader of a fictional country, loosely modeled off Latin American dictators. His "wife" Marion (played by the crossdressing actor Sonne Teal) is in fact also a robot imposter, the Poupée. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
