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.
How it feels
A comedy film with a title that humorously references a classic Finnish novel but has no story connection to it. The joke is that an eighth brother was left out because the author was bribed.

What happens
Kahdeksas veljes (The Eighth Brother) is a 1971 Finnish film directed by Spede Pasanen. It was Pasanen's first completely independent work as a screenwriter and director. The film attracted 176,175 viewers to theaters. Despite the title, the plot bears no connection to Aleksis Kivi's Seven Brothers, nor is it a sequel to the earlier Spede production, Noin 7 veljestä. The only reference to the title comes in the opening credits, where it is jokingly claimed that there was, in fact, an eighth brother, whom Kivi omitted because he had been bribed.
