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
A young woman in Brooklyn juggles relationships with three very different men. She navigates their demands and her own desires while trying to keep her independence.

It stars Tracy Camilla Johns, Tommy Redmond Hicks, John Canada Terrell, and Lee. The film follows a young woman who is dating three men and explores the feelings this arrangement provokes. Filmed on a low budget of $175,000, it earned positive reviews and grossed $7.1 million, launching Lee's career. Lee won the Award of the Youth at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival, and Best First Feature at the 1987 Independent Spirit Awards.
