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 South Korean army major is captured during the Korean War. A female student saves him after a failed escape attempt, and they fall in love as he recovers. He then goes into a concentration camp to rescue three soldiers, and they flee together toward Seoul while facing many dangers.
