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
The film follows three lonely people in a Paris suburb. A divorced cafe owner has a weekly arrangement with a prostitute. His sister is a teacher whose marriage is strained. A young man returns to his hometown carrying a secret. Their separate stories eventually connect.

What happens
J'attends quelqu'un est le troisième film réalisé par Jérôme Bonnell, sorti en 2007. Louis est un patron de café de la grande banlieue parisienne, divorcé, qui entretient une relation hebdomadaire avec Sabine, une jeune qui a choisi de se prostituer. Sa sœur Agnès est une institutrice mariée à un journaliste dont le travail semble peser sur la vie intime du couple, qui semble s'étioler après quelques années de mariage et l'absence d'enfant. Stéphane est un jeune homme qui revient, un peu perdu, dans sa ville d'origine portant un secret sur son passé. Les histoires de ces trois personnes seules et dans l'attente d'une relation affective vont se croiser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
