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
A woman arrives in a small provincial town and her presence stirs up the stagnant lives of the locals, particularly a married man. The story examines the quiet tensions and unspoken desires that simmer beneath a surface of everyday routine.

What happens
Nunca pasa nada (English: Nothing Ever Happens) is a 1963 Spanish-French drama film directed by Juan Antonio Bardem. Starring a mixed cast of French and Spanish actors it was shot both in Spanish and French. It was a commercial flop at the time of its release. The film was entered into the Venice Film Festival. Julia Gutiérrez Caba was named Best Actress in Spain by the Cinema Writers Circle, and received the Fotogramas de Plata prize. Nunca pasa nada depicts an environment and characters similar to the ones appearing in Bardem's great success, Calle Mayor (Main Street), to the point that some critics nicknamed it disdainfully Calle Menor (Minor Street). However, current evaluation of Bardem's works consider Nunca pasa nada a very appreciable film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
