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

Volver es una película de Argentina filmada en Eastmancolor dirigida por David Lipszyc sobre el guion de Aída Bortnik que se estrenó el 5 de agosto de 1982 y que tuvo como actores principales a Héctor Alterio, Graciela Dufau, Rodolfo Ranni y Hugo Arana. Ricardo Wullicher colaboró con la supervisión del filme. Durante el estreno de la película se suscitó una polémica entre la guionista Aída Bortnik y el director David Lipszyc cuando la primera hizo un comunicado diciendo que las modificaciones que había introducido el director "podría redundar en incoherencias argumentales". Lipszyc contestó que la libretista, en caso de estar disconforme con el resultado final, tenía por contrato el derecho a retirar su nombre de los créditos, cosa que no hizo.
