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.
How it feels
Two friends get mixed up with a harem and a sultan in a desert fantasy setting. They get into slapstick situations involving a mysterious odalisque and a magic lamp.

What happens
La odalisca No. 13 ("Odalisque Number 13") is a 1958 Mexican comedy film produced by Miguel Zacarías, written and directed by Fernando Cortés, and starring Viruta and Capulina, Germán Valdés «Tin-Tan», María Antonieta Pons, Lorena Velázquez and Donna Behar. It is the sequel to the Tin-Tan's film of the same year, A Thousand and One Nights, in which also appeared Pons. This is Viruta and Capulina's first and only color film alongside Tin-Tan (filmed in Eastmancolor, also considered as Mexico's Technicolor), and the second part of a trilogy of fantasy films based in the desert, including Los legionarios (1958) and Los tigres del desierto (1960). The film was said to be "not only a very popular Mexican movie but also a complex parody that involved Mexico City's turn-of-the-century modernist fascination with odalisques".
