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
Two close friends and neighbors raise their sons together in a quiet Belgian suburb. After a tragic accident strikes one family, trust erodes and suspicion grows between them.

What happens
Mothers' Instinct (French: Duelles) is a 2018 Belgian psychological thriller film directed by Olivier Masset-Depasse. The story is loosely based on the 2012 novel Behind the Hatred (Derrière la haine) by Barbara Abel. The film was screened as a special presentation at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. It received ten nominations at the 10th Magritte Awards, winning nine, including Best Film and Best Director for Masset-Depasse, setting the record for the most Magritte Awards won by a single film. It was later overtaken by Night Call (2025), which won ten awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
