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.

How it feels

A young man falls deeply in love with a stranger he sees in a theater. He follows her through Paris and confesses his love, but she runs away. When he finds her again, she reveals she is deaf and believes her disability makes a relationship impossible, so she chooses to disappear after brief intense moments together.

What happens

L'Inconnue est un film français de Claude Weisz, sorti en 1966. Un jeune homme s'éprend éperdument d'une inconnue aperçue dans une salle de spectacle. Il la suit dans Paris et lui déclare qu'il l'aime, mais elle le fuit. Il la retrouve un peu plus tard et elle lui révèle qu'elle est sourde. Son handicap l'a rendue défaitiste : elle pense que c'est un obstacle à une relation amoureuse. Plutôt que de s'engager dans une histoire sentimentale vouée à l'échec, l'inconnue préfère disparaître après avoir vécu de brèves, mais intenses émotions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
