The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Can Tunis es una película documental de Paco Toledo y José González Morandi sobre los últimos años del barrio barcelonés de Casa Antúnez (en catalán, Can Tunis).​ El documental muestra la realidad social del barrio, gravemente afectado por la droga,​ así como otros temas no tan mediatizados como el papel de la infancia y la vida familiar en una realidad tan alejada de la imagen cosmopolita de Barcelona.
