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 a crowded tenement building in Hong Kong, a group of tenants from different walks of life deal with money troubles, nosy neighbors, and a greedy landlord. Their daily struggles and small victories bring them together in unexpected ways.
