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
The Rose Seller (Spanish: La vendedora de rosas) is a 1998 Colombian drama film directed by Víctor Gaviria and starring Lady Tabares. It is based both on Hans Christian Andersen's short story "The Little Match Girl" and on the life of Mónica Rodríguez, a girl the director met on the streets of Medellín and on whom he based the protagonist. The film premiered in 1998 and was part of the official selection of the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. It is considered one of the most important films of Colombian cinema and has become embedded in the country's popular culture. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
