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 tough independent woman in her thirties works as a market trader and on construction jobs in rural France. She is renovating a remote old house in the mountains, hoping her teenage son will come live with her after years of separation. The film follows her efforts to rebuild both the house and her relationship with him while dealing with her own difficult past.
