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

A Prince (French: Un prince) is a 2023 French drama film directed by Pierre Creton. The film centres on Pierre-Joseph (played by Antoine Pirotte in youth and by Creton himself in adulthood), a young man who takes a job as an apprentice gardener under the tutelage of Adrien (Pierre Barray) and Alberto (Vincent Barré), with the three men later becoming lovers in a throuple. The film features only limited direct dialogue among the main cast, with much of its dramatic exposition instead narrated in voice-over by actors Mathieu Amalric, Françoise Lebrun and Grégory Gadebois.
