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

Agadir Bombay (أغاديرمومباي) est une comédie dramatique de la réalisatrice franco-marocaine Myriam Bakir, sortie en 2011. C'est le premier long métrage de Myriam Bakir, qui avait au préalable réalisé des courts métrages dont le premier, Demain on tourne, remonte à 1993. Elle en est également la scénariste. Ce film traite d'un sujet encore délicat au Maroc : la prostitution. Son accroche officielle est : « Le plus grand voyage n'est pas celui qu'on croit ». Tourné en darija, il est sous-titré en français ou en anglais. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
