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
In 1900 a widow named Mrs. Seo and her daughter-in-law Ok-Nyeo live together in a village. Ok-Nyeo falls in love with a man named Hyo-jin after he saves her from an attack. Mrs. Seo disapproves but eventually lets them go, then fakes her daughter-in-law's suicide to protect family honor.
