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 espada negra és una pel·lícula històrica espanyola del 1976 dirigida per Francesc Rovira Beleta que dramatitza la joventut dels Reis Catòlics segons un guió de l'escriptor Carlos Blanco. Fou rodada a espais de Patrimoni Nacional com les muralles d'Ávila, la catedral de Toledo, o els toros de Guisando. Ha estat criticada per donar un tractament esquematitzat dels personatges com si es tractés d'una fotonovel·la. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
