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.

How it feels

Three incompetent small-time crooks are mistaken for dangerous gangsters by a determined police commissioner. His wife, an official at the prison ministry, gets them released to prove her liberal policies work and then leads them in their first big heist: a postal van robbery.

What happens

Les Ringards est un film français réalisé par Robert Pouret, sorti en 1978. Bidard, Aldo et Charlot sont trois malfrats minables que le commissaire Garmiche piste depuis des mois, les tenant pour de dangereux gangsters. Pris par erreur pour les auteurs d'un cambriolage, les trois « ringards » sont enfin placés sous mandat de dépôt. Mais Annie, femme de Garmiche et chargée de mission au ministère de la Condition pénitentiaire, les fait libérer pour illustrer sa politique libérale. En fait, elle devient l'égérie du groupe et son véritable chef : c'est sous sa direction que les trois voyous réussiront leur premier « gros coup » : le braquage d'un fourgon postal entre Toulon et le circuit du Castelet.
