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 boy grows up in a small Czech town in the 1930s, finding wonder in nature and fishing for golden eels with his father. The film follows his childhood experiences and the gentle, sometimes sad lessons he learns about life and loss.
