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

Papaflessas (grec moderne : Παπαφλέσσας) est un film grec réalisé par Errikos Andreou et sorti en 1971. Le film participe à la propagande au service de la dictature des colonels. Il est ce qui en Grèce se rapprocherait le plus du grand film hollywoodien : financé par le plus grand studio la Finos Film, par le producteur attitré des films de propagande du régime James Paris et par le régime lui-même via la Société générale anonyme industrielle et commerciale d'entreprises cinématographiques, Papaflessas fut tourné en décors naturels avec des costumes magnifiques.
