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 Infierno (English: Hell) is a 2010 Mexican black comedy crime drama film produced by Bandidos Films and directed by Luis Estrada, following the line of La ley de Herodes. A political satire about drug trafficking, organized crime and the Mexican drug war, the film received an NC-17 rating by the MPAA for "some graphic violence and explicit sexual content". El Infierno enjoyed both critical and commercial success in Mexico and was nominated for the 25th Goya Awards for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film. The film has enjoyed a cult following, primarily by Mexican audiences. The film's loosely related follow up, La dictadura perfecta (English: The Perfect Dictatorship), was released October 16, 2014, to generally positive reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
