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 in early 20th century Sichuan is caught between two men and the changing social order. Her life becomes tangled in local power struggles and romantic tensions that reflect the slow ripples of political change.
