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

Dios los cría es una película de Argentina filmada en colores dirigida por Fernando Ayala sobre su propio guion escrito en colaboración con Ricardo Talesnik que se estrenó el 20 de junio de 1991 y que tuvo como actores principales a Soledad Silveyra, Hugo Soto, Ana María Cores y China Zorrilla. Es la última película de Fernando Ayala y ha sido considerada como «una suerte de testamento queer», cuyo protagonista es un hombre homosexual que frecuenta una disco LGBT+. Hasta entonces el cine argentino solo había mostrado personas homosexuales sin mostrar su vida social, pero en esta obra se muestra «un sentido de comunidad LGBTIQ como nunca antes se había visto».​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
