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 1946 Milan, children wander through the rubble of a war-torn city while adults ignore them. Using their imagination, they turn the ruined streets into a playful landscape.

What happens
est un court métrage documentaire italien réalisé par Luigi Comencini et sorti en 1946. En 1946 à Milan, la ville est en décombres tandis que de nombreux enfants passent leurs journées à errer dans les ruines au milieu de l’indifférence des adultes. Grâce à leur imagination, ils parviennent à transformer la ville ravagée par la guerre en un terrain de jeu magique et ludique. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
