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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Teams from different French towns compete in silly and sometimes chaotic games. The contests occasionally involve live cows and bulls, adding a zany and unpredictable element to the show.

What happens
Intervilles (French: [ɛ̃tɛʁvil]) is a French comedy game show first broadcast in 1962. The show was based on a previous Italian programme. It featured teams representing towns in France competing in a series of games, some of which involved live cows and bulls (referred to as the vachettes). Broadcast for over fifty years despite several interruptions, it is one of the longest-running French game shows, one of the most adapted French programs for foreign audiences and one of the flagship programs of the summer in France, along with Fort Boyard and La Carte aux trésors. Its success led to the launch of the European version, Jeux sans frontières, as well as the winter versions, Interneige and then Interglace. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
