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
An old man who fled North Korea after his family was killed works as a traditional mourner at a public cemetery. He raises an orphaned girl he finds there as his own daughter, dedicating his life to her while surrounded by death and grief.
