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 Canadian veteran returns to Europe after the war to track down a man responsible for his wife's murder. He finds himself tangled in a web of corruption and deceit in postwar Buenos Aires.
