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
This political satire mocks a Mexican government and its policies. It is a dark comedy about power and corruption.

What happens
Un mundo maravilloso ("A Wonderful World") is a 2006 Mexican satirical black comedy film produced by Bandidos Films, directed by Luis Estrada and considered a "spiritual sequel" to La ley de Herodes; it is a political satire about Vicente Fox Quesada's government and its neo-liberal doctrine. Unlike La ley de Herodes, this film was released without interference from Fox's government, and it even was partly sponsored by Imcine. The film's spiritual successor, El Infierno was released on September 3, 2010, to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence. Another "spiritual sequel", La dictadura perfecta, was released on October 16, 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
