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
During a period of social upheaval in 1860s Japan, a man returns from a shipwreck to find his wife sold into prostitution and a society gripped by manic religious fervor and political violence. The story follows his desperate search for her amid the chaos.
