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

Two low-level gangsters open their own gambling operation in mainland China. After one of them kills a rival parlor owner, he flees to Hong Kong and falls in love with a heroin-addicted prostitute. Their relationship is disrupted when news arrives that their gambling venture has been taken over by a rival gangster.
