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
Papapapá is a 1995 documentary by Alex Rivera about immigration. The film stars Augusto Rivera, the director's father, and Alex Rivera himself. It calls attention to ideas of transculturation, national belonging, cultural imperialism, and cultural globalization, as Rivera chronicles his father's journey from his native Peru to his life in the United States and parallels it with the journey of the potato.
