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

Ça n’arrive qu’aux vivants est un film français de Tony Saytor sorti en 1959. Neuilly-sur-Seine. Henri Brunier et sa femme exploitent un petit garage en face du dépôt de tri postal. Les affaires tournent au ralenti, et Henri accepte la proposition de la belle Gloria de louer à l’un de ses amis une partie de son garage. Le but caché est de se positionner à proximité des fourgons postaux pour un prochain hold-up. Henri succombe au charme de la plantureuse Gloria, et les gangsters détiennent ainsi des preuves photographiques pour lui mettre la pression. Soit, il devient leur complice, soit son infidélité sera révélée à sa femme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
