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

Nous, les enfants du est un documentaire franco-russe de Vitali Kanevski sorti en 1994. Oscillant entre le documentaire et la fiction, le film s'attache à entrer dans le monde parallèle des enfants des rues de Saint-Pétersbourg, petits délinquants et marginaux livrés à eux-mêmes. On les retrouve finalement dans les prisons où certains sont incarcérés pour meurtre. L'enchaînement de la violence est-il inéluctable ? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
