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

A Close Shave è un cortometraggio muto del 1901. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit. Due ragazzini portano scompiglio nel negozio di un barbiere: dopo aver distolto l'attenzione del proprietario, legano alla sedia un cliente al quale poi radono a zero i baffoni imponenti. Quando il barbiere si accorge di quello che sta accadendo e cerca di correre in aiuto, finisce solo per ricevere in testa un secchio di acqua saponata. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
