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
Two Jewish boys in 1940s Brooklyn become close friends despite their different backgrounds. One is from a very religious Hasidic family and the other is from a secular intellectual home.
