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

Asaltar los cielos es una película documental española de 1996 dirigida por José Luis López-Linares y Javier Rioyo Jambrina, autores también del guion. La música era de Alberto Iglesias. El documental muestra las motivaciones y cómo fue asesinado Lev Trotski por Ramón Mercader, ​reconstruida con documentos inéditos así como el destino de este después del asesinato.​ Este documental supuso en España un punto de inflexión del género documental porque supuso una revolución del formato documental introduciendo el estilo de divulgación dramática, con un esquema narrativo similar al del cine de ficción.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
