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

Homecoming (French: Le Retour) is a 2023 French drama film co-written and directed by Catherine Corsini. It is a family drama about a woman who returns to Corsica with her two teenage daughters for the summer, starring Aïssatou Diallo Sagna, Suzy Bemba and Esther Gohourou. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 76th Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2023, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. It was theatrically released in France on 12 July 2023 by Le Pacte. Before its release the film generated a controversy for filming a simulated manual sex scene (cut from the film) involving underage actors without declaration to authorities, as well as allegations of sexual assault and poor working conditions on set.
