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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Crime Diaries: The Search (Spanish for Historia de un crimen: La búsqueda) is a Mexican television series produced by Dynamo for Netflix. It stars Regina Blandón, Darío Yazbek Bernal and Verónica Bravo, and the story is based on the case of the disappearance and death of 4-year-old girl Paulette Gebara Farah. All 6 episodes of the season became available for streaming on Netflix on 12 June 2020. The series received criticism for its light comedy tone, the poor performance of Yazbek and for omitting all mentions regarding both Paulette's parents' roles in the events.
