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

Trois huit est un film français réalisé par Philippe Le Guay, sorti en 2001. L'intrigue principale se joue à l'usine et dépeint une réalité sociale : le mode de vie - à la fois difficile et solidaire - des ouvriers. Le réalisme recherché par Philippe Le Guay fait penser au style de Ken Loach[réf. souhaitée]. Ce film parle du harcèlement dans le milieu du travail. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
