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

Nos plus belles vacances est un film français, réalisé par Philippe Lellouche et sorti en 2012. , année de la canicule. Claude (Philippe Lellouche), juif d’Algérie arrivé en France quinze ans plus tôt, emmène sa jeune femme Isabelle (Julie Gayet), ses deux garçons Simon (12 ans) et Bibou (8 ans), et Mamie, sa belle-mère, en Bretagne. C’est Isabelle qui, ayant surpris Claude en flagrant délit d’adultère, a choisi pour ces vacances le petit village où elle est née : le Rocher Abraham. Dès le lendemain de leur arrivée, Bernard (Gérard Darmon) et Bernadette (Vanessa Demouy), Jacky (Christian Vadim) et Marie-Jeanne (Julie Bernard), deux couples d’amis, les y rejoignent. Ils sont accueillis avec méfiance par les autochtones, principalement au café Pondemer, le café du village où les hommes se retrouvent. Juifs pieds-noirs, bretons catholiques… Parisiens, provinciaux : la cohabitation n’est pas facile. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
