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 Maori woman returns to her rural community and deals with family secrets and land disputes. The story shows how people in a small New Zealand town navigate love, loss, and their connections to the past.
