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

Imposture est un film français réalisé par Patrick Bouchitey sorti en 2005. Critique redouté perdu dans une existence banale, Serge Pommier n'a toujours pas écrit le livre que tout le monde espère de lui. Pour vivre, il doit se contenter d'enseigner la littérature à l'université. Lorsque l'une de ses étudiantes, Jeanne, lui soumet un manuscrit remarquable, sa vie bascule... Ce texte, il aurait dû l'écrire, il aurait pu. Ce roman est à coup sûr un passeport pour la reconnaissance si longtemps espérée. Serge décide de kidnapper Jeanne et de lui voler son texte. Entre les non-dits, les confidences, l'envie d'aimer et la soif de vengeance, chacun devient le prisonnier de l'autre... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
