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

Three separate stories show the effects of war away from the battlefield. In the first two tales from World War I, a soldier bonds with his young cousin and another man faces loyalty. The final story follows modern French soldiers at a festive event who are haunted by their experiences in a conflict far from home.
