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 Mexican-American man takes up boxing, hoping that winning fights will earn him the respect he is denied by a prejudiced white society. The story follows his struggles both inside the ring and in the racially divided streets of 1950s Los Angeles.
