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
Five friends reunite two years after graduating from school. At first they are happy to see each other, but they gradually realize that love, arranged marriages, betrayal, and money have pulled them apart.

What happens
«Прощание с весной»; иное русское название — «Весенние птицы» (яп. 惜春鳥, сэкисюнтё; англ. The Bird of Springs Past) — японский фильм-драма режиссёра Кэйсукэ Киноситы, вышедший на экраны в 1959 году. Фильм рассказывает о пятерых друзьях, встретившихся спустя два года после окончания школы. Поначалу они были рады встрече, но постепенно понимают, что дистанцировались друг от друга из-за внешних влияний, таких как любовь, организованные браки, предательство и деньги.
