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

4L (Spanish: 4 latas) is a 2019 Spanish comedy film directed by Gerardo Olivares and written by Olivares and María Jesús Petrement. The plot revolves around Tocho (Hovik Keuchkerian), who is a rough, bad-mannered alcoholic; Jean Pierre (Jean Reno), who was once a womanizer but has matured; and Ely (Susana Abaitua). They are all travelling from Spain to Ely's father Joseba (Enrique San Francisco) who lives in Tombuctu, Mali, and is on his deathbed. They decided to travel there by using Ely's father's old car, a car they used to do road trips in. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
