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 wealthy suburban couple's quiet life is disrupted when their best friends show up unannounced claiming they are afraid to go home. The couple's alcoholic daughter and the wife's sharp-tongued sister are also living in the house. The family struggles with whose needs come first and the fear that can drive people away from their own lives.
