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 retiring civil servant in Burkina Faso is asked by his home village to become their chief to block a rival candidate. He refuses, wanting to focus on his own post-career plans, and this refusal sets off a chain of events involving his past and his community.

What happens
Le Bonnet de Modibo est un film burkinabè réalisé par Boubacar Diallo en 2019. Modibo, fonctionnaire à l’Éducation nationale du Burkina Faso, chargé des concours et des diplômes, s’apprête à partir à la retraite. Une délégation de son village natal se présente chez lui pour lui proposer de devenir le nouveau chef du village. Cette proposition vise à empêcher l’accession de Kayouré, un autre candidat au poste. Modibo décline cette demande, préférant poursuivre ses propres projets après sa carrière professionnelle. Cette situation entraîne une série d’événements qui le confrontent à des décisions liées à son passé, à son entourage et aux attentes de sa communauté. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
