'On the other side of the wall' - yeah, because having a hole in a wall and hiding it with a full set of shelves, constructing a fake microwave with a false screen, making the silhouette movies for whichever cup is chosen, then setting up a table and a display, plus making all the fake bottles of seeds,,, that's not complicated!
