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
Silas is a 1981 ZDF adventure television mini-series based on the Danish children's book Silas og den sorte hoppe (Silas and the Black Mare) by Cecil Bødker who kept on writing installments until 2001. The series was Patrick Bach's debut, and because the series did so well, he also starred the very next year in another adventure series about a young orphan: Jack Holborn. Silas was a German production, and despite being recorded in France — Normandy and in Brittany (Bay of Douarnenez, Locronan, Bay of Audierne, near Plovan - on the long sandy beach where the German version of the opening credits were shot) — it was filmed solely in German. Still it received attention beyond German-speaking countries and consequently the successor Jack Holborn involved international producers and was dub filmed in English. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
