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 farmer who is seen as a new voice for Afrikaner identity falls apart when his wife leaves him for another man. The film follows his decline into a pathetic figure.

What happens
Die Square is 'n Afrikaanse rolprent wat in 1975 in Suid-Afrika uitgereik is. Die draaiboek en regie is deur Manie van Rensburg behartig. Cobus Rossouw speel die hoofrol as 'n Boer van die ou soort wat as die nuwe stem van die Afrikanerdom bestempel word. Hy verkrummel egter tot 'n patetiese figuur as sy vrou hom vir 'n ander man verlaat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
