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 burned-out, alcoholic police detective partners with a tough female officer to investigate a strange case of a wealthy man who has his prized show dog kidnapped. Along the way, they navigate their own personal demons and develop an unlikely romantic connection.
