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 family journeys from a rural coal mining town to the bustling city of Tokyo in search of better work and opportunity. They face the harsh realities of urban life and the strain it puts on their bonds.
