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

Resurrection (Spanish: Resurrección) is a 1943 Mexican period drama film directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares and starring Emilio Tuero, Lupita Tovar, Sara García and Rafael Banquells. It is based on the 1899 novel Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy. It relocates Tolstoy's story to Mexico in the early 20th century, at the brink of the Mexican Revolution and its land reform. The film's sets were designed by the art director Manuel Fontanals. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
