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
Two con artists on the French Riviera make a bet to see who can swindle a female tourist out of her money first. They devise increasingly elaborate schemes to outfox each other and win the prize.
