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
Two parallel stories are told, one set in 1960s Paris about a single mother raising a son with Down syndrome, and another set in modern Montreal about a man leaving his wife for a younger woman. The film interweaves their lives through music and love.

What happens
Café de Flore (French pronunciation: [kafe d(ə) flɔʁ]) is a Canadian drama film, released in 2011. Directed, written, and edited by Jean-Marc Vallée, the film garnered 13 nominations for the 2012 Genie Awards. The film's title refers not to the café on Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, but to a Matthew Herbert song of the same name which the film uses to represent its musical current.
