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

Comment je suis devenu super-héros est un film de super-héros franco-belge co-écrit et réalisé par Douglas Attal, sorti en 2020. Il s'agit d'une adaptation du roman du même nom de Gérald Bronner (2007). À Paris en 2020, les surhommes sont intégrés à la société. Le lieutenant Moreau (Pio Marmaï) est chargé d’enquêter sur des incidents provoqués par une mystérieuse substance procurant des super-pouvoirs à ceux qui n’en ont pas. Il doit faire équipe avec Cécile Schaltzmann (Vimala Pons), nouvelle recrue tout juste débarquée de la brigade financière. Les deux policiers bénéficient de l’aide de Monté Carlo (Benoît Poelvoorde) et Callista (Leïla Bekhti), deux anciens justiciers, pour stopper le trafic de cette substance. L'enquête se complique lorsque le passé de Moreau ressurgit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
