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
An Algerian worker moves to France for factory work. After being fired without notice, he moves to Roubaix for help and later returns to Paris for construction. A workplace accident sparks a strike, and his friend is deported while he keeps the strike going.
