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
A Mother's Ordeal è un film muto del 1917 sceneggiato e diretto da Will S. Davis. Abbandonata dal marito Robert, Mary Howard, dopo aver affidato la figlioletta a una zia, tenta di uccidersi. Il tentativo di suicidio non le riesce e la donna, piano piano, scivola nella prostituzione. Gli anni passano: Robert si risposa e lei, credendo che la figlia dell'uomo sia stata il frutto di quel secondo matrimonio, per vendicarsi di lui, cerca di attirare la giovane ragazza nel giro della prostituzione. Ben presto, però, Mary riconosce in quella fanciulla ignara la propria figlia e così la restituisce alla sua vita in famiglia. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
