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.
How it feels
Doctor Faust makes a deal with the devil Mephistopheles. He trades his girlfriend Margherita for absolute knowledge. Faust soon realizes he has done something terrible by challenging God's limits on human pleasure and reason.

What happens
Faust è un film muto del 1922 diretto da Gérard Bourgeois. La pellicola si basa sull'omonima opera di Goethe. Un uomo: il dottor Faust fa un patto col diavolo Mefistofele per avere la conoscenza assoluta in cambio della sua ragazza Margherita. Ben presto Faust capisce di aver commesso un'azione orribile sfidando i limiti del piacere e della ragione umana imposti da Dio. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
