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

Zampo y yo (lit. 'Zampo and me', 'Zampo and I') is a 1965 Spanish musical film starring Ana Belén and Fernando Rey. The film was directed by Luis Lucia and written by him and Leonardo Martín. The film was a commercial failure back when it was released, but has been able to reach a wide public thanks to television and has come to be appreciated. Luis Lucia has since said that it was the film he was most proud of. The film was to launch 13-year-old Ana Belén (who took this pseudonym after her character) as a "singing child prodigy" similar to Marisol, but that didn't happen because of the film flopping. She had been contracted to star in four movies in total, but the remaining three never came into existence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
