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

Three-Fingered Kate: Her Second Victim, the Art Dealer รจ un cortometraggio muto del 1909 diretto da H.O. Martinek. Interpretato dalla francese Ivy Martinek, un'attrice di provenienza circense, fu il secondo episodio prodotto dalla British & Colonial Kinematograph Company di una serie dedicata a Three-Fingered Kate, un capobanda femminile cui mancano due dita a una mano. Il primo film della serie, The Exploits of Three-Fingered Kate, aveva avuto un tale successo che la casa di produzione mise subito in cantiere il proseguimento della storia con gli stessi attori, ma cambiando il regista J.B. McDowell e che venne sostituito dal fratello della protagonista, H.O. Martinek. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
