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

Robert Rylands' Last Journey (Spanish: El último viaje de Robert Rylands) is a 1996 Spanish-British film directed by Gracia Querejeta. It was the director's second feature film. Her script is a loose adaptation of the 1989 Javier Marías novel Todas las almas, which the novelist repudiated. The subsequent controversy ended with a lawsuit, which resulted in an indemnification towards the writer and an order to withdraw his name from the credits of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
