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

Asphalte est un film français réalisé par Hervé Bromberger, sorti en 1959. À la faveur d’un voyage professionnel à Paris, de son mari Éric, riche homme d’affaires, la jeune Nicole retrouve d’anciens amis : Michel, Gino et les autres. Elle revient dans le quartier pauvre de son adolescence. Une idylle se noue avec Michel, mais la fugue risquerait de mal se terminer pour elle sans la vigilance d’Éric, d’autant plus que Gino au cours d’une rixe vient de tuer un homme. Nicole dira adieu à Michel et à son passé… (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
