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
The movie follows a young man in Taiwan as he navigates family relationships and takes part in a traditional temple troupe. It shows the daily struggles and quiet moments of his life.

What happens
《忠仔》（英語：Ah Chung）是台灣導演張作驥的第二部電影作品，該片獲得新聞局電影輔導金新台幣400萬元的補助金。該故事主要劇情和傳統八家將、家庭關係有關聯。 該片發行時已面臨台灣電影衰退時期，曾有發行商表示「《忠仔》缺乏卡司，能有100萬元票房就已經很有面子了！」，結果《忠仔》兩個星期的票房則是160萬元；張作驥的父母到電影院看《忠仔》時發現一整天下來觀眾只有7個人，因此勸他改行。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
