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 late 19th century Hungary, two brothers live under the control of their domineering mother. Their suppressed emotions and violent impulses build toward a tragic family confrontation.
