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

Una mentida oblidada (títol original en francès, Un mensonge oublié) és un telefilm francès de 2018 dirigida per Éric Duret. El 15 d'abril de 2018 es va emetre al canal belga La Une, mentre que es va estrenar a France 3 el 8 de gener de l'any següent. S'ha doblat al valencià per a À Punt. La pel·lícula està basada en la història real d'uns nens de la Reunió que van ser deportats a la França continental, en concretar a la Cruesa, per repoblar les regions que patien l'èxode rural. Aquests moviments infantils van ser iniciats per Michel Debré, aleshores diputat de la Reunió, el 1962. Van involucrar més de dos mil infants. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
