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
The Mystery of Edwin Drood è un cortometraggio muto del 1909. Tratto dall'ultimo romanzo di Charles Dickens, Il mistero di Edwin Drood, che venne pubblicato postumo nel 1870, il film è diretto da Arthur Gilbert. Fu interpretato da Cooper Willis nel ruolo di Edwin Drood. Dal libro vennero tratte diverse versioni cinematografiche, tra cui una del 1935 di Stuart Walker con Claude Rains. Nel 1960, la tv britannica produsse una serie omonima di 8 episodi di 30 minuti l'uno. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
