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

La vida loca est un documentaire mexicano-français réalisé par Christian Poveda, sorti en 2009. Le documentaire suit le quotidien des maras, ces gangs salvadoriens dirigés, connus pour leur ultra-violence et leur cruauté. Ils sont construits sur le modèle des gangs de Los Angeles et sèment la terreur dans toute l'Amérique centrale. Ce nouveau fléau mondial détruit par la violence aveugle les principes démocratiques et condamne à mort une jeunesse privée de tout espoir d'avenir. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
