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 man in India deals with the absurd bureaucracy after a death in his family. The film uses dark humor to show how ordinary people navigate rigid systems and the small moments of life.
