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

Brave Pigeon (Spanish: Paloma brava) is a 1961 Mexican film written by Janet Alcoriza, directed by Rogelio A. González and starring Rosita Quintana, Miguel Aceves Mejía and Sara García. It was one of three ranchera comedies that year by González based on screenplays by Janet Alcoriza (formerly Raquel Rojas) and Fernando Galiana. The other two were El buena suerte, also with Aceves Mejía, and El jinete negro, a western parody with an early appearance by Mauricio Garcés. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
