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 surgeon who treats his patients with cold detachment is forced to confront his own humanity when he becomes a patient himself. He gradually shifts from arrogance to empathy as he experiences the medical system from the other side.
