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 film follows three young women from the Chinese countryside as they try to make a living in Beijing. One works as a nightclub hostess while her daughter is cared for by others. Another is a struggling model and extra. A third used to dance in a club but went home after becoming addicted to drugs.
