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

Clara et les Méchants, ou Bourreaux d'enfants, est un film de Raoul André sorti en salle en 1958. Clara (Minou Drouet), fille d'un magnat du pétrole, ne voit jamais son père. Elle partage de rares moments d'intimité avec sa mère (Jacqueline Joubert), très occupée par les mondanités. Élevée par une nurse anglaise tyrannique, elle est enlevée un jour par des malfaiteurs (Pierre Destailles, Jacques Morel, Jean Poiret et Michel Serrault) qui demandent une rançon à ses parents. Clara a tôt fait de conquérir ses geôliers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
