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
A man in a decaying Havana apartment experiences strange visions and a growing sense of isolation. The story blends science fiction with personal and societal breakdown.

What happens
Red Cockroaches (Spanish: Cucarachas Rojas) is a 2003 Cuban–American science fiction drama film written, directed and produced by Miguel Coyula in his feature debut. Produced over a two-year period on a reported budget of $2,000, the film was shot on consumer digital video and edited on a home computer. It has frequently been cited as an example of early 21st-century DIY and micro-budget digital cinema. The film is the first installment in a thematic trilogy continued by Blue Heart (2021).
