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
A 15-year-old girl growing up in a Marseille housing project clashes with her Algerian family's expectations. She questions the restrictions placed on her life while trying to stay true to herself.

What happens
Samia est un film français réalisé par Philippe Faucon et sorti en 2000. Samia est une adolescente de 15 ans qui vit dans les quartiers nord de Marseille. Elle est la sixième d'une famille d'origine algérienne qu'elle respecte, mais avec qui elle entretient des rapports de plus en plus conflictuels car elle ne partage plus ses traditions et ses interdits religieux.
