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 1967, a Chinese opera singer is sent far from home for re-education during the Cultural Revolution, leaving behind his pregnant wife. When he returns seven years later, he learns his wife has died and struggles with how to identify and approach the child he never met.
