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

Long Live Your Death (Italian: Viva la muerte... tua!), also known as Don't Turn the Other Cheek!, is a 1971 Zapata Western comedy film directed by Duccio Tessari. The film is primarily a parody of 'political' Spaghetti Westerns (also called Zapata Westerns), such as A Professional Gun and Compañeros. In the film, a con artist posing as a priest learns the location of a hidden treasure. He needs the assistance of a bandit, who is impersonating a deceased revolutionary. The bandit has a treasure map tattooed on his buttocks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
