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

Classe unique est un téléfilm français réalisé par Gabriel Aghion en 2019 pour une diffusion sur France 3. Saint-Laurent est un petit village de campagne dont la classe unique est menacée de fermeture. Pour remédier à ce problème, Jacques, le maire, accepte d'accueillir une famille de migrants avec enfants pour que l'école soit sauvée, ce qui n'est pas du goût de tout le monde. Il sera aidé dans son entreprise par Lucie, une de ses anciennes connaissances, qui fait partie d'une association d'aide aux migrants et qui en héberge également chez elle.
