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.
How it feels
Four Argentine directors each contribute a short story about everyday life in the country. The episodes show different characters struggling with social and economic pressures as the 1990s come to a close.

What happens
Mala época (Bad Times) is a 1998 Argentine drama film. The film was executive produced by Mario Santos. This dramatic anthology of four episodes represents the collaborative effort of Mariano De Rosa, Rodrigo Moreno, Salvador Roselli, and Nicolás Saad. Each wrote and directed an episode. All are graduates of Argentina's primary film school, the Universidad del Cine, which helped fund the film. The film offers an unflattering look at Argentine society as it prepares to enter the 21st century. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
