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

Sarah est un film français réalisé par Maurice Dugowson, sorti en 1983. À la suite d'un incendie, l'agent d'assurances Arnold Samson est envoyé en Espagne où il croise, au bar de son hôtel, une jeune femme désemparée qui lui dit s'appeler Sarah. Son travail d'expertise conduit Samson à rencontrer l'équipe de tournage du film arrêté par le sinistre. Ainsi apprend-t-il la disparition de Marie, l'actrice principale dont le personnage se nomme Sarah. Enquêtant sur les causes de l'accident, Samson découvre un monde inconnu...
