The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

The film starring Sol Carballo, Paulina Bernini and Juliana Filloy, portrays the story of Ana, Patricia and Mayela, who, educated in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, found the meaning of femininity through unspoken rules and implicit impositions. A co-production of Costa Rica and Spain, the film was selected in the Panorama section at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival where it had its world premiere on 19 February 2024, and won Panorama Audience Award for Best Feature Film. It was selected as the Costa Rican entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards, but was not nominated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
