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
In rural Quebec during the 1940s, a mysterious stranger arrives at a farm and slowly becomes part of the family's life. The film follows how his presence changes the household and stirs unspoken desires and loyalties.
