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 Portuguese drama is based on a true story from 1963 about a family in rural Santa Maria de Cárquere, Resende. It follows the lives and struggles of the 29 brothers and their community.
