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

The Balcony of the Moon (Spanish:El balcón de la Luna) is a 1962 Spanish musical comedy film directed by Luis Saslavsky and starring Carmen Sevilla, Lola Flores and Paquita Rico. Its critical and commercial failure illustrated the declining popularity of the Andalusian musical, one of the most popular Spanish genres of the 1950s. The film's sets were designed by Sigfrido Burmann. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
