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 28-year-old woman named Myriam arrives in a small town in northern Morocco with only a suitcase and an address. She plans to reach the Spanish coast illegally. While waiting for her chance to cross, she meets other women in the same situation and Hassan, a young outcast who falls in love with her. Myriam loses her money in a failed escape attempt, so Hassan steals from his gang leader to help her. Her former boss Lalla Fatima arrives seeking revenge for a theft. Myriam finally escapes but pays a high price for her freedom.

What happens
Tarfaya es una película del año 2004. Myriam, 28 años, llega a un pequeño pueblo del Norte de Marruecos llevando únicamente una maleta y una dirección en el bolsillo, dispuesta a alcanzar la costa española. Mientras espera su turno para cruzar clandestinamente, conoce a otras mujeres en su misma situación y a Hassan, un joven marginal que se acaba enamorando de Myriam. Buscando que ella le corresponda, Hassan llega incluso a robar a Did, el líder de su banda, para que Myriam, que ha perdido todo su dinero en un intento fallido de abandonar el país, pueda volver a intentarlo. Entonces aparece Lalla Fatima, anterior jefa de Myriam, a la que ha estado persiguiendo desde que descubrió que la chica le había robado una cantidad considerable de dinero. Finalmente, y a pesar de todo, Myriam logrará escapar, no sin antes pagar un precio muy alto por su libertad. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
