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

Un día perdido es una película del director español José María Forqué de 1954. El éxito de El diablo toca la flauta, realizada en 1953 por José María Forqué con guion escrito junto a Noel Clarasó, volvió a unir a los dos, al año siguiente, en un nuevo proyecto donde también coincidían varias historias hilvanadas con una leve trama argumental.
