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

Leyenda de Navidad è un film del 1947 diretto da Manuel Tamayo. È l'unico lungometraggio basato sul romanzo Canto di Natale di Charles Dickens ad essere realizzato negli anni quaranta, dopo le due versioni degli anni trenta. È anche uno dei primissimi adattamenti della storia prodotti al di fuori del Regno Unito e degli Stati Uniti, a ricordare la grande popolarità internazionale del racconto di Dickers. Protagonista del film è l'attore spagnolo Jesús Tordesillas nel ruolo di Ebenezer Scrooge. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
