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 movie takes place in a busy public bar. A mix of regular customers come and go, each bringing their own small joys and sorrows. The film mixes drama with musical numbers in a experimental style to show the varied lives of the people gathering there.
