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

This documentary follows R., a woman from Brno living in Sweden with her husband and two children. She appears happy but feels empty, so she creates a male alter ego and writes novels for LGBTQ+ audiences. Over time, R. transitions into Marvin, a man.
