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
Der Schuh des Manitu (transl. Manitou's Shoe) is a 2001 German Western parody film. Directed by Michael Herbig, it is a film adaptation of the Winnetou sketches from his ProSieben television show Bullyparade. The film stars Herbig and Christian Tramitz as a Apache chief and his cowboy blood brother who must hunt for a legendary treasure to pay off a tribal debt before a band of ruthless outlaws beats them to it. Rick Kavanian, Sky du Mont, Marie Bäumer, and Hilmi Sözer also star in supporting roles. With earnings of about €65 million (US$70 million) and 11.7 million visitors in cinemas, it is one of the most successful German movies after the Second World War. A sequel, Das Kanu des Manitu, was released in 2025, with Herbig, Tramitz, Kavanian, and du Mont reprising their roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
