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

Un couple est le deuxième film de Jean-Pierre Mocky, sorti en 1960. Mariés depuis trois ans. Anne et Pierre voient leur entente physique diminuer. Avide d'absolu, Pierre le lui dit, conformément à leur pacte de tout s'avouer. Mais il aime toujours sa femme, et Anne, très amoureuse, souffre de la distance qu'il prend. Pierre voudrait partir et changer de vie avec elle, mais reste velléitaire. L'un et l'autre, insatisfaits, connaissent d'autres tentations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
