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
In 1920s Tokyo, a young woman leaves her rural home for the city and gets caught up in the clash between modern life and traditional values. Her story weaves through bustling streets, cramped tenements, and glamorous dance halls. The film captures the excitement and loneliness of big city living.
