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

Haingosoa est un film français réalisé par Édouard Joubeaud, sorti en 2019. Pour payer les frais de scolarité de sa fille, Haingo s'engage dans une troupe de danse, quitte le sud de Madagascar et monte à Antananarivo. Elle n'a alors que quelques jours pour apprendre une danse qui lui est étrangère. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
