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 big budget saint film about the 16th century poet Tulsidas, who rewrote the Ramayana in Hindi. He struggles between his devotion to his wife and his calling to make the sacred text accessible to common people, eventually becoming an ascetic and facing opposition from the Brahmin clergy in Benares.
