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 shy proofreader escapes his dull life by slipping into vivid daydreams where he is a hero. His fantasy world gets tangled with reality when he meets a woman who seems to step right out of his imagination.
