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
A couple hosts a Christmas dinner where a former wife and other guests show up with complicated personal ties to the husband. The evening spirals into tense arguments and revelations under the pretense of holiday cheer.
