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

Judoka-Secret Agent (French: Le Judoka, Agent secret, Italian: Carnet per un morto) is a 1966 French-Italian Eurospy film written and directed by Pierre Zimmer. It is based on the short story Le Judoka dans le ville by Ernie Clark. It had a sequel in 1967, Casse-tête chinois pour le judoka, with a different cast except for Marilù Tolo returning in a different role. On her last day of filming actress Patricia Viterbo accidentally backed her sports car into the Seine during a scene and drowned as she was unable to swim. Her accompanying costar Henri Garcin escaped, but there are conflicting versions of whether he was at the wheel while they were returning from lunch. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
