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 middle-aged couple's marriage unravels when the husband has an affair with their son's teacher. The wife retaliates by hacking the teacher's emails and publicly discrediting her, while a mysterious young man becomes menacing. These four characters become entangled in a perverse spiral that leads to a tragic outcome.

What happens
Les Apparences est un film franco-belge réalisé par Marc Fitoussi, sorti en 2020. Le film se déroule à Vienne et suit les tribulations sentimentales d'un couple quadragénaire, Henri et Ève (Benjamin Biolay et Karin Viard), rencontrent celles de l'institutrice de leur fils, Tina (Lætitia Dosch), et d'un jeune homme charmant mais indiscret, Jonas (Lucas Arthur Englander), rencontre d'un soir de déprime d'Ève qui vient de se rendre compte que son mari la trompe avec l'institutrice. Jonas, qui porte un bracelet électronique et devient inquiétant, harcèle Ève. Cette dernière réussit à pirater les mails de Tina et se venge d'elle avec ce moyen pour la discréditer publiquement. Un engrenage pervers se développe entre ces quatre personnages qui aboutira à un drame. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
