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 the pre-Civil War South, a kind plantation owner tries to protect his slaves from being sold off after his death. The story follows the bonds between the owner and the enslaved people as they face hardship with music and courage.
