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.
How it feels
A teenage girl spends a carefree summer on the French Riviera with her father and his new lover, but tensions rise when she devises a plan to protect her easygoing life with him. The story moves between the bright present and a darker look back at the events that changed everything.

What happens
Bonjour Tristesse ('Hello, Sadness') is a 1958 coming-of-age drama film in CinemaScope, produced and directed by Otto Preminger from a screenplay by Arthur Laurents, based on the 1954 novel by Françoise Sagan. The film stars Deborah Kerr, David Niven, Jean Seberg, Mylène Demongeot and Geoffrey Horne, and features Juliette Gréco, Walter Chiari, Martita Hunt and Roland Culver. It was released by Columbia Pictures. This film had color and black-and-white sequences, a technique unusual for the 1950s, but widely used in silent films and early sound films.
