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
The documentary follows four people in Madrid during the eight months leading up to the March 11 2004 train bombings. An abused housewife dreams of leaving her husband. A Moroccan immigrant works hard to build a better life. A theater student finally gets a big break. An Ecuadorian maid starts over with computer classes. Their separate stories end in different ways on the day of the attack.
