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

El mural es una película argentina-mexicana biográfica-dramática de 2010 dirigida por Héctor Olivera. El guion fue escrito por Olivera y Antonio Armonía. Es protagonizada por Bruno Bichir, Luis Machín, Carla Peterson y Ana Celentano. Se estrenó el 20 de mayo de 2010. El título alude al famoso mural que realizó el pintor mexicano David Alfaro Siqueiros en 1933 en la fastuosa casaquinta de Don Torcuato del periodista y empresario uruguayo radicado en Argentina Natalio Botana que, luego de diversos avatares, se exhibe al público desde diciembre de 2010.​ El documental Los próximos pasados (2006), de Lorena Muñoz, también analiza la historia del mural de Siqueiros.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
