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
The film follows a group of female telephone operators in Bucharest during August 1944. As the historical events of that period unfold, the women find themselves still at their posts and get a chance to contribute to their country's liberation from German occupation.
