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
Dekalog: Ten (Polish: Dekalog, dziesięć) is the tenth part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, connected to the tenth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not covet." In contrast to the bleak tone of the other episodes in the series, Dekalog X is a black comedy. Two brothers (Jerzy Stuhr and Zbigniew Zamachowski) inherit a valuable stamp collection from their deceased father and soon become consumed and obsessed with their windfall. The brothers find themselves entangled in a series of misadventures as they attempt to understand, protect and expand their newfound fortune. Dekalog: Ten premiered earlier than the other parts of the series, on Polish Television on June 24, 1989. The series was exhibited in its entirety at the 46th Venice International Film Festival in September 1989, in the Special Events section. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
