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

À couteaux tirés est un film français réalisé par Charles Gérard en 1963. Cinq aventuriers d'envergure décident de s'approprier le fameux butin de guerre nazi, noyé au large de Monte-Carlo. Ils réussissent à s'emparer du coffre renfermant les bijoux évalués à des milliards et les documents secrets qui les accompagnent, mais tous meurent assassinés dans des circonstances mystérieuses. Le commissaire Mattei de la P.J tente de dénouer le mystère de Paris à Monte-Carlo. Il remonte la filière criminelle qui le met en présence de deux personnages ayant monté cette machiavélique combinaison meurtrière. Le trésor retourne à la mer, y entraînant les auteurs de l'affaire.
