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

Cassos est un film français réalisé par Philippe Carrese, sorti en 2012. Marc, un assureur de province, médiocre et psychorigide, rentre en contact avec le Milieu pour faire éliminer sa femme, insupportable matrone castratrice. Chauffeur occasionnel et improbable pour le casse minable d’une bijouterie, Marc est pris en pitié par Toulouse, truand de seconde zone qui, plus par mépris que par compassion, va lui montrer les ficelles du métier à travers plusieurs expériences sur le terrain. Pour Marc, cette série de rencontres et de péripéties s’avère être une révélation. Ce voyage initiatique nocturne lui permettra d’appréhender son potentiel de tueur… toujours psychorigide et médiocre, mais en plus, à présent, dangereux ! (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
