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

One for the Road (Spanish: En el último trago) is a 2014 Mexican road comedy-drama film directed by Jack Zagha Kababie. It was one of fourteen films shortlisted by Mexico to be their submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it lost out to 600 Miles. This film, translated into Russian by Andrey Efremov, was shown in Moscow in June 2014 as part of the Moscow International Film Festival under the title Выпьем на дорожку. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
