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
This film has five segments, each directed by a different Italian filmmaker. Four of the segments show invented stories from the real private lives of famous actresses. The first segment is about a casting call for the movie itself.
