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
Gomorrah (Italian: Gomorra) is a 2008 Italian crime drama film directed by Matteo Garrone, based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Roberto Saviano, who also collaborated in the screenplay. It depicts the Casalesi clan, a crime syndicate within the Camorra — a traditional criminal organization based in Naples and Caserta, in the southern Italian region of Campania. The film was released in Italy on 16 May 2008, and premiered in North America at the Toronto International Film Festival on 11 September 2008, followed by release in New York City and Los Angeles on 13 February 2009. It received critical acclaim, winning the Grand Prix at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and seven David di Donatello Awards, including Best Film and Best Director (for Garrone). It also won five awards at the 2008 European Film Awards. Although selected as the Italian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 81st Academy Awards, it was not nominated. A 2014 TV series of the same name is loosely based on the same book, but is otherwise unrelated to the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
