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 1970s Switzerland, a speechless outsider struggles to communicate and connect with a small rural community after a personal loss. The story follows his everyday attempts to find his place among people who are suspicious of his silence.
