The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Mabel's Married Life is a 1914 American comedy silent short film made by Keystone Studios starring and co-written by Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand, and directed by Chaplin. As was often the case during his first year in film, Chaplin's character is soon staggering drunk. The film was followed in 1915 by Mabel and Fatty's Married Life as a follow-up (but not quite a "sequel"). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
