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

Las sorpresas del divorcio es una película de Argentina en blanco y negro dirigida por Roberto Ratti según su propio guion sobre la obra teatral homónima de Alexandre Bisson y Antony Mars que se estrenó el 17 de noviembre de 1943 y que tuvo como protagonistas a Esteban Serrador, Marcos Caplán, Hilda Sour, Malisa Zini y Diana Maggi. Al diseñar los títulos surgió que tanto en el contrato de Serrador como en el de Caplán decía que encabezarían el elenco, por lo cual en los créditos sus nombres aparecen cruzándose diagonalmente uno a otro.
