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
In a small Algerian village, two children are left orphaned and dispossessed. Years later, as colonial war erupts, the brother joins the resistance and his sister vanishes. After independence, he returns as a government representative, promising progress, but the villagers wonder if he truly wants to help or settle old scores.

What happens
L'Honneur de la tribu est un film algéro-français réalisé par Mahmoud Zemmouri, sorti en 1993. Adaptation du roman de Rachid Mimouni À Zitouna, Slimane el Mabrouk meurt en défendant son village, laissant deux orphelins, Omar et Ourida. Dépossédés, ils grandissent seuls. Plus tard, la guerre coloniale éclate : Omar rejoint le maquis, sa sœur disparaît. Après l’indépendance, Omar revient en représentant du pouvoir, promettant progrès et modernité. Mais les habitants s’interrogent : geste sincère ou vengeance déguisée ? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
