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
This Spanish documentary was made to counter another film about the Spanish Civil War. It was commissioned by the Franco regime but ended up seen as low quality and politically awkward even by its backers.

What happens
Morir en España es una película documental española de 1965 dirigida por Mariano Ozores con un guion de los notorios franquistas José María Sánchez-Silva y García-Morales y Rafael García Serrano. Fue un encargo hecho por las autoridades franquistas para contrarrestar y ofrecer una respuesta a Mourir à Madrid de Frédéric Rossif, pero fue tan poco exitosa como su antecesora Por qué morir en Madrid de Eduardo Manzanos, ya que las autoridades franquistas la consideraron finalmente de baja calidad y políticamente inoportuno.
