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

What happens
A House with a View of the Sea (Spanish: Una casa con vista al mar) is a 2001 drama film written and directed by Alberto Arvelo, and a Spain-Canada co-production with Venezuela. It was Venezuela's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. It was first released in Europe in 2003, before its Venezuelan premiere a year later. It stars Imanol Arias, Gabriel Arcand, and Leandro Arvelo. ABC describes the film as an "intimate and crude history about the Venezuelan peasants of 1948". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
