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

Ezop is a 1969 Bulgarian-Czechoslovak film directed by Rangel Valchanov. The film starred Josef Kemr and Davzad Twast-Kafka. It was a minor success upon release, with the film's repeated line 'to help me' becoming symbolic of Prague in the early 1970s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
