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

Le Prince est un film dramatique allemand réalisé par Lisa Bierwirth, sorti en 2021 en Allemagne et en 2022 en France. Monika, , galeriste en art contemporain à Francfort, est prise dans une descente de police lors d'une soirée ; elle y échappe grâce à Josef, qui se présente comme un homme d'affaires congolais cherchant des investisseurs pour une mine de diamants au Congo. Demandeur d'asile, il est en attente de régularisation et vit de petits trafics. Une histoire d'amour naît entre eux, malgré leurs mondes opposés. Les proches de Monika se méfient énormément de cet homme sorti de nulle part. Différents évènements amènent les deux amoureux à douter l'un de l'autre, une méfiance mutuelle s'insinue peu à peu dans leur relation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
