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.

What happens
An Uncertain Season (Czech: Nejistá sezóna) is a Czechoslovak comedy film directed by Ladislav Smoljak and Zdeněk Svěrák from 1987, which depicts the struggles of a small amateur theatre company as it prepares a new play and tries to get it officially approved. The plot is based on the authentic experiences of the Jára Cimrman Theatre, features its actors and contains real excerpts from his plays, but Cimrman's name does not appear once (at most he is referred to as "The Master"). The entire film takes place in the Solidarita Theatre, the actual location of the Jára Cimrman Theatre at the time. Virtually the entire film was shot without post-synchronous sound. This gives it a documentary character. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
