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

It's Raining in the House (French: Il pleut dans la maison) is a 2023 coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Paloma Sermon-Daï. An international co-production between Belgium and France, it marks Sermon-Daï's feature directorial debut. It follows two adolescent siblings navigating a summer on their own while grappling with economic hardship and personal challenges. It stars real-life siblings Makenzy and Purdey Lombet in their acting debut. The film had its world premiere on 19 May 2023 at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Camera d'Or. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised its naturalistic performances, the emotional depth of the sibling relationship, and Sermon-Daï's ability to blend realism with a poetic visual style. At the 14th Magritte Awards, It's Raining in the House received eight nominations, including Best Film and Best Director for Sermon-Daï. Makenzy and Purdey Lombet respectively were awarded Most Promising Actor and Most Promising Actress, making this the second film in history to win both awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
