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

Mamaia est un film français réalisé par José Varela et sorti en 1967. Samedi matin, à Bucarest en Roumanie, c'est le jour du mariage de Nana, une très jolie jeune femme. Mais, avant le mariage, Nana décide d'aller seule faire un tour sur la plage de Mamaia, la station balnéaire proche. À Mamaia, elle rencontre un groupe de rock français sympathique, « Les Jets », avec lesquels elle chante et danse, sensible en particulier au charme du chauffeur, Balthazar. Après deux jours passés à faire la fête, elle comprend qu'elle n'intéresse pas Balthazar, et retourne vers son fiancé, Stephan. Le gentil Stephan lui dit qu'ils se marieront le week-end suivant.
