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.
How it feels
A man named Philippe is depressed after his wife leaves him. He joins his friend and his young son on a road trip to Marseille, where the boy's mother lives. The trip takes three days, during which they talk and share quiet moments.

What happens
Le Film de l'été est un film franco-belge réalisé par Emmanuel Marre et sorti en 2017. Profitant de la voiture de son ami Aurélien, devant raccompagner Balthazar, son fils de 9 ans, chez sa mère à Marseille, Philippe les accompagne jusqu'à Lyon, où il a trouvé un emploi possible. Dépressif depuis le départ de sa femme, il tente néanmoins de sauver les apparences devant l'enfant. Le rendez-vous avec la mère de Balthazar est différé de trois jours, le voyage se prolonge... Trois jours d'été tissés de paysages traversés, de libres conversations, de confidences et d'échanges entre Philippe et le garçonnet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
