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

Litoral is a four-part 2008 Chilean TV miniseries written and directed by Raúl Ruiz. Originally subtitled "Tales of the Sea", it is thematically similar to the director's film Three Crowns of the Sailor (1982) and is the second of the oneiric folklore-themed miniseries' he made for TVN, following on from La Recta Provincia (2007).
