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.

What happens
Un village français (A French Village) is a French television drama series created by chief writer Frédéric Krivine and principal director Philippe Triboit, with the assistance of historical consultant Jean-Pierre Azéma. It is set in Villeneuve, a fictional commune in the Jura in German-occupied France during the Second World War, and represents, according to the New York Times, "the first major French television series seriously to address collaboration during the Nazi occupation in World War II." The series was first broadcast on France 3 in June 2009, and has also been shown in Belgium, Switzerland and Canada on TV5 Monde and on MBC in South Korea. In the USA it has been shown on the French language entertainment network TV5MONDE, the MHz Choice streaming service (through Amazon Prime) and Hulu, or for free on some PBS stations. As of February 2025, the series is streaming in the United Kingdom on ITVX under the title The Line. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
