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 woman recounts her memories of a quirky, naive friend named Sonya from their youth in Soviet Leningrad. Through flashbacks, we see Sonya's awkwardness and kindness, and how her life intersected with others over decades.
