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
It is about twin sisters who were separated at birth and later meet. One grew up in Kyoto with a loving family and the other had a very different life. The story follows their encounter.
