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
Sempre Xonxa (Galician for Always Xonxa) is a Galician-language film from Galicia, Spain directed and written by Chano Piñeiro and released in 1989. It was the first Galician feature film shot in 35 mm, along with Urxa, by Carlos Piñeiro and Alfredo García Pinal, and Continental by Xavier Villaverde, making it one of the first fiction films in the Galician language. The film is about the emotional consequences of emigration and is set in rural Galicia. Sempre Xonxa was, during 20 years, the biggest theatrical success for a film in Galician, until 2019 when Fire Will Come eventually attracted more spectators. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
