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

La orilla (litt. Le rivage) est un film de guerre dramatique espagnol sorti en 1971, réalisé par Luis Lucia. Ce drame se déroule pendant la guerre d'Espagne avec des éléments de films de guerre, religieux et romantiques. Le film est habituellement classé comme étant pro-franquiste en raison de certains de ses dialogues et de certaines de ses situations, malgré sa tentative de présenter un certain degré de réconciliation et de fraternité entre les deux camps, et d'éviter les clichés négatifs sur le camp républicain qui sont courants dans d'autres productions cinématographiques du début de l'après-guerre.
