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

Génial, mes parents divorcent ! est un film français réalisé par Patrick Braoudé, sorti en 1991. Julien, dont les parents viennent de se séparer, vit très mal cette situation, au point d'inventer un départ de son père à l'étranger pour une association humanitaire. Son copain Thomas, lui-même enfant de divorcés, essaye pourtant de lui remonter le moral en lui exposant les différents côtés positifs que peut lui apporter un divorce. Par la suite, dans la classe de CM2 des deux garçons, deux clans naîtront : celui des enfants de divorcés et les autres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
