The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 early 20th century Sarajevo, a woman becomes fixated on her wealth and status, leading to a life of isolation and rigid moral judgments. The film shows her relationships with those around her and the consequences of her choices.
