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
Set during the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this film shows a series of courtly schemes and backstabbing among power players. It follows a chain of deceptions and betrayals with a comedic, almost absurd tone.
