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

Young Sánchez es una película española dirigida por Mario Camus y protagonizada por Julián Mateos. Fue rodada en 1963 y estrenada el 3 de junio de 1964. Está basada en el mundo del boxeo, influida por películas como Más dura será la caída o El ídolo de barro, con un retrato de ambiente convincente.​ El guion toma como base un cuento breve de Ignacio Aldecoa, amigo del propio director, pero desarrolla la trama mucho más que el cuento.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
