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

Le Complot est un film franco-italo-espagnol réalisé par René Gainville, sorti en mai 1973. En 1962, afin d'empêcher le général de Gaulle de céder aux revendications du FLN et de laisser l'Algerie devenir indépendante, les membres de l'OAS décident de faire évader le Général Challe, emprisonné à Tulle. Le commandant Dominique Clavet (Jean Rochefort), succédant à son chef Cyrus qui a été arrêté, organise avec ses hommes un hold-up pour financer l'évasion. Dans le même temps, aidé par des « barbouzes », le commissaire divisionnaire Lelong (Michel Bouquet), loyal au gouvernement mais désabusé, enquête sur cette conjuration, ayant parfois des doutes devant la complexité de la situation.
