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

«Повести Белкина. Выстрел» — драма Петра Фоменко по произведению А. С. Пушкина, входящего в цикл «Повести покойного Ивана Петровича Белкина». А. С. Пушкиным был использован эпизод его дуэли с офицером Зубовым в Кишинёве в июне 1822 года. На поединок с Зубовым Пушкин явился с черешнями и завтракал ими, пока тот стрелял. Зубов стрелял первым и не попал. Пушкин не сделал своего выстрела, но ушёл, так не примирившись со своим противником. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
