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

In 1930s South Korea, a sick and elderly German archaeologist returns to his ruined childhood home on a deserted beach. He escapes his decaying present by recalling memories of his parents and his lost love Young-ae, while the village sorceress and lepers around him mirror his own decline.
