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

Une jeune fille est un film dramatique québécois réalisé par Catherine Martin sorti en 2013. À la mort de sa mère, Chantal, une adolescente réservée, quitte son milieu familial pour se rendre en Gaspésie, lieu où sa mère fut autrefois heureuse. Après avoir erré plusieurs jours, elle trouve refuge à la ferme de Serge, un agriculteur taciturne, qui lui donne du travail. Peu à peu, ces deux êtres solitaires s'attachent l’un à l’autre, alors que Serge doit affronter sa sœur Laura qui veut se départir de la ferme sous le prétexte qu'elle ne rapporte plus assez.
