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

Sur la route du paradis è un mediometraggio del 2011 diretto da Houda Benyamina. Sarah e Bilal si sono trasferiti con la madre Leila, dal Marocco, in Francia, in attesa di raggiungere il padre in Inghilterra. Sono clandestini, vivono in condizioni misere e devono rinunciare anche alla scuola per non esporsi. Respinti dalla società, attingono la loro forza dallo stare uniti, dal calore e dalla gioia dello stare insieme e del godere di piccoli istanti di serenità come una corsa in bicicletta o una festa di compleanno. Ma anche quest'unico bene sarà messo in pericolo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
