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

O Crime de Cravinhos is a 1920 Brazilian mystery film directed by Arturo Carrari. The title translates to The Crime of Cravinhos, referring to a suburb of Sâo Paolo, Brazil. It is known as "the first great box office success of São Paulo cinema," and it gathered a group of followers around the director. Some sources say Italian-born Gilberto Rossi was the director, and not just the cinematographer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
