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 group of children living alone in a London house cover up their mother's death to avoid being split up. Their secret life unravels when their estranged father returns, bringing control and danger into their isolated world.
