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
Die Stille nach dem Schuss (literally The Silence after the Shot) is a 2000 German film that was released in English as The Legend of Rita (also sometimes referred to as Legends of Rita, The Legends of Rita, or Rita's Legends). The film focuses on collusion between the East German secret police, or Stasi, and the West German terrorist group Red Army Faction (RAF). The fictional characters all have close parallels to real-life RAF members. The script was reportedly based on events in the life of Inge Viett. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
