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

Morenita clara es una película mexicana de 1943 en la que Evita Muñoz "Chachita" interpreta a la hija de una gitana desamparada (Margarita Mora) que logra conquistar de distintas maneras (cantando y bailando temas flamencos) a su abuelo (Arturo Soto Rangel), quien años atrás había desheredado a su hijo - quien ya falleció - por haber seguido a la errante mujer. A sus siete años, "Chachita" llevaba el primer crédito de esta producción, además de ser presentada como artista exclusiva de los Hermanos Rodríguez. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
