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 traveling circus manager tries to salvage his failing relationship with a younger mistress while dealing with the harsh realities of his performers' lives. The film follows their interactions with a local theater troupe and each other.
