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
Bato (The General Ronald dela Rosa Story) is a 2019 Filipino biographical action film directed by Adolfo Alix Jr., starring Robin Padilla as the titular police official. Produced by ALV Films and Benchingko Films within the span of two months and distributed by Regal Entertainment, Bato was released in theaters on January 30, 2019, which became controversial for its timing near the campaign period of the 2019 Senate election, in which the actual dela Rosa was a senatorial candidate. Both Padilla and dela Rosa would eventually serve as senators together in the Philippine Senate. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
