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 older man returns to his homeland in the Australian wilderness and meets a young boy who recently lost his parents. They travel together through the countryside, with the man teaching the boy survival skills.
