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 1940s Egypt a government minister and party leader publicly calls for closing brothels but secretly visits them at night because he has masochistic tendencies. The film explores the hypocrisy of a powerful figure who preaches morality while indulging in the very thing he condemns.
