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

Ballade à blanc est un film français réalisé par Bertrand Gauthier et sorti en 1983. Jean étouffe dans le chantier naval de Toulon où il travaille depuis peu. En tant que Breton, il préfère l'air du large. Un jour il laisse tout tomber, et Simone, sa cousine qui l'héberge, ne peut le retenir. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
