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

Je ne suis pas un héros est un film français réalisé par Rudy Milstein. Louis est avocat dans un grand cabinet. Tout le monde le trouve « gentil », ce qui suscite plutôt du mépris chez ses collègues. Cependant, sa vie change de tout au tout le jour où son médecin lui annonce qu'il a un cancer : ses parents se réconcilient, ses collègues deviennent prévenants avec lui sauf que le diagnostic était erroné : il est en parfaite santé. Il hésite alors à dire la vérité à tout le monde, de peur que les choses ne redeviennent comme avant. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
