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 stubborn restaurant owner in a small Provence village refuses to serve customers until his former laundress opens a rival place with her nephew. He gets jealous and decides to start cooking again to compete.

What happens
Cigalon est un téléfilm français réalisé par Georges Folgoas à partir d’un scénario de Marcel Pagnol. Cigalon, restaurateur dans un petit village de Provence, refuse de servir les clients… Et soudain madame Toffi, son ancienne blanchisseuse, ouvre un restaurant avec son neveu Virgile… Vexé, Cigalon contre-attaque et se remet en cuisine… Ce film est un hommage à Marcel Pagnol disparu peu avant le tournage. Réalisé dans le village d’Aubagne, où est né Marcel Pagnol, Le Cigalon a été diffusé pour la première fois, l’après-midi du dimanche pour l’inauguration de TF1 couleur. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
