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

L'Affaire Crazy Capo est un film franco-italien réalisé par Patrick Jamain et sorti en 1973. Un homme d'affaires, à la fortune apparemment légale, est en réalité en cheville avec la pègre. Faute de convaincre une grande figure du banditisme, surnommée Crazy Capo, de lancer un nouveau marché pour le trafic de drogue à destination de la jeunesse, il fait voter sa mise à mort, y compris par le propre fils de Crazy Capo, lequel l'assassine lui-même. Gagnant ainsi la confiance du nouveau chef, le fils grimpe dans la hiérarchie criminelle. Pendant que son mentor élimine tous ceux qui ne se rallient pas à sa cause, le commissaire Martin enquête sur cette vague de violence. Mais les choses vont s'avérer plus complexes qu'il n'y paraît...
