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

Four friends in France are followed in their daily work. A surgeon performs his final operation, a sculptor prepares odd artworks, a butcher moves between slaughterhouses and market stalls, and a woman recounts her time as an assistant to Orson Welles.
