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.

What happens

La maldición del padre Cardona es una película de 2005, cuyo género es la comedia. Cuenta la historia del joven Padre Gerónimo (Anthony Álvarez), quien viene a presidir una pequeña iglesia en una curiosa y poco común comunidad de República Dominicana donde curiosamente sucede un poco de todo. La vida del cura se complica cuando la bella Flor (Zoé Saldaña) queda locamente enamorada del cura y hace todo lo posible para conquistarlo. Un día se mete a un granero con el padre y es amarrada por algunos habitantes del pueblo, quienes ven a Flor como una sirviente de Satanás que quiere corromper al cura. Cardona, tratando de rescatarla, se ve en una embarazosa situación con Flor: entre tramas y enredos Cardona sale casi ileso de todo el alboroto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
