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
Rififi in the City (Spanish: Rififi en la ciudad) is a 1964 Spanish film directed and co-written by Jesús Franco, and starring Fernando Fernán Gómez, Jean Servais, Laura Granados and Antonio Prieto.It is based on the novel Vous souvenez vous de Paco? (transl. Do You Remember Paco?) by author Charles Exbrayat. Initially set as a Spanish and French co-production, changes in distribution agreements led to the film only being produced by Cooperativa Cinematográfica Albatros. Filming was initially set to begin on February 13, 1963, but was delayed for two months. While the film received a positive review in the Spanish newspaper Arriba, it was dismissed in the Spanish film magazine Film Ideal. The film has since received some positive reception from Spanish publications, including being included in an anthology of Spanish film in 1997. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
