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

Maracatumba... ma non è una rumba è un film italiano del 1949, diretto da Edmondo Lozzi e interpretato da Renato Rascel. Inizialmente intitolato Duello all'ombra e diretto da Gaetano Amata, venne ritirato dalla produzione e modificato due anni dopo col nuovo titolo da Enzo Trapani, che venne respinto dalla censura.
