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 man from the late 1980s finds himself stuck in a time loop that repeatedly sends him back to the same day in 1949. He must navigate the past and confront his relationship with his father during the Soviet era.
