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

The House of Flowers Presents: The Funeral (Spanish: La Casa de las Flores: El funeral) is a 2019 special of the Mexican dark comedy telenovela The House of Flowers. It was released on November 1, 2019, without any forewarning, as a separate short film on the Netflix streaming platform where the television series airs. It was written by Mara Vargas and directed by series creator Manolo Caro. It stars members of the show's cast as the de la Mora family, mourning matriarch Virginia, who died between seasons one and two; though released only a few weeks after season two, it fits chronologically between the first two seasons.
