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 short musical film following a charming picaresque story. Carlos Gardel sings two songs with a female co-star, and the whole thing feels like a fun, fast-paced diversion.
