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
An overweight man with a stutter uses his talent for mimicking Hollywood stars to cope with his social isolation. He navigates his personal struggles while finding connection through his unusual skill.
