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

What happens
Histoires tunisiennes ou Hekayet tounsiya (arabe : حكايات تونسية) est le premier long métrage de la réalisatrice tunisienne Nada Mezni Hafaiedh, sorti en 2011. Filmé peu avant le Printemps arabe, il décrit la vie des Tunisiens à l'aube de la révolution de 2011 en romançant des histoires vraies tirées du documentaire Singularity réalisé par Hafaiedh. Alors qu'il aborde des sujets comme les relations avant le mariage et le sexe, il reçoit des critiques positives de nombre de quotidiens maghrébins. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
