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.

It follows the political and personal conflicts involving the Spanish crown, the Inquisition, and a love triangle between Don Carlos, his father King Philip II, and princess Elisabeth. The production features a starry cast of opera singers recorded at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.
