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.
How it feels
A single man in his forties moves to Montmartre and hosts his nephew from Algeria. They explore the vibrant Algerian neighborhood of Barbès during a health crisis. Through encounters with local characters, he reconnects with his own heritage.
