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

Que reste-t-il... est un téléfilm français réalisé par Étienne Périer, diffusé en 2000. Edith Lorrimer, 82 ans, souffre de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Elle ne garde aucun souvenir de son passé proche, mais retrouve depuis quelque temps, des pans entiers de sa mémoire lointaine, grâce à un traitement expérimental Très précis mais pas forcément agréables, ces souvenirs éloignés l'embarrassent plus qu'ils ne la soulagent. Tandis qu'elle tente d'endiguer ce flot d'images qui menace de la submerger, le jeune Gaspard Toussaint, âgé de 16 ans, essaie en vain de recomposer le puzzle de sa petite enfance, passée à Haïti...
