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

Clémentine Tango est un film français réalisé par Caroline Roboh, sorti en 1983. Charles, le jeune descendant snob d'une famille aristocratique qui a connu des jours meilleurs, tombe par hasard dans le monde bizarre mais étrangement attrayant du cabaret en tentant de retrouver une ancienne maîtresse de son père. Il tombe amoureux de Clémentine, une adolescente membre de la "famille" du cabaret qui a créé son propre monde fantastique obsédé par le tango au milieu de la décadence environnante. Charles, apprenant que Clémentine pourrait être sa demi-sœur, et craignant ainsi une relation incestueuse, succombe aux séductions ambiguës de deux complices machiavéliques, un magicien et une danseuse.
