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

Fifty-Fifty est un film français réalisé par Pascal Vidal et sorti en 1981. Jean-Luc, coureur cycliste amateur, en a assez de dépendre de directeurs sportifs qui bidouillent, tout ça pour gagner quelques billets et des lots publicitaires de pâtes. Il décide de se préparer seul aux compétitions avec l’aide de son ami Patrick qui s’improvise entraîneur. Hélas ! Tout va de mal en pis. Partageant un logement communautaire, bientôt les deux copains et leurs colocataires ne peuvent plus payer le loyer et les dettes s’amoncellent. Le groupe passe alors à la solution radicale : petits « casses » entre amis… (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
