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

Mad Love (original title: Fou d'amour) is a 2015 French drama film directed by Philippe Ramos and starring Melvil Poupaud, Dominique Blanc and Diane Rouxel. It is an adaptation of Ramos' 1996 short film Ici-bas, which was in turn inspired by the Affair of the Uruffe priest in the 1950s. It won the Grand Prix des Amériques at the Montreal World Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
