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 group of people from Fuzhou secretly board a truck to smuggle themselves into the United Kingdom. Based on real events, it follows their dangerous journey and the desperate risks they take for a better life.

What happens
Stowaway (simplified Chinese: 惊天大逃亡; traditional Chinese: 驚天大逃亡), alternatively known as Snakeheads, is a 2001 Hong Kong action film based on the true story of a group of stowaways from Fuzhou illegally immigrating to the United Kingdom in 2000. In the incident, 58 illegal immigrants suffocated to death in an airtight truck of tomatoes at Dover, England on 20 June 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
