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
It's about three generations of the Kong family in China. They feel stuck in their old ways because they believe they are direct descendants of the philosopher Confucius. The story shows their personal struggles and emotional conflicts as the country goes through social reforms.

What happens
Descendants of Confucius (originaltittel: Que li ren jia) er en kinesisk dramafilm fra 1992 regissert av Wu Yigong. Filmen handler om motsetningene og de følelsesmessige forviklingene til tre generasjoner i Kong-familien som sitter fast i tradisjoner fordi deres etternavn er antatt å nedstamme i direkte linje fra filosofen Konfucius. Konfliktene kommer særlig til syne når reformens tidevann feier over Kina. En ledende rolle spilles av Zhu Xu. Den ble kåret til beste film ved Huabiao Awards. Filmen er også kjent under den engelske tittelen A Confucius Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
