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

Le Loup de la côte Ouest est un film franco-argentino-portugais réalisé par Hugo Santiago, sorti en 2002. Lew Millar, un célèbre détective privé de la côte ouest des Etats-Unis, se rend en France, à la demande de Nick Nemo, un vieux milliardaire américain installé depuis vingt ans à Biarritz. Celui-ci veut Millar en personne pour assurer sa protection. En effet, sa vie est menacée : quelques jours plus tôt, on a tenté de l'assassiner. Ca fait longtemps que Millar n'exerce plus ses fonctions de "garde du corps". Mais une autre raison l'a poussé à accepter ce contrat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
