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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
La vedova e il piedipiatti is an Italian television series directed by Mario Landi and consisting of six episodes. It stars Ave Ninchi, Enrico Papa and Veronica Lario and it was one of the last RAI productions shot in black and white. The serial is set in Turin; the two protagonists are the young police inspector Lombardi (Enricco Papa) and his landlady Avatar (Ave Ninchi), an eccentric widow, fortune teller and amateurish detective. Avatar helps Lombardi in his enquiries, with unorthodox but effective methods; besides, she tries unsuccessfully to match him with her pupil Maria Teresa (a young Veronica Lario, the future Silvio Berlusconi's wife).
