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 television game show invites unemployed families to compete by spending as little as possible over a week for a chance to erase their debts. Diana pretends to be the wife of a man named Wai, joining the contest with his two kids. The daughter begins a romance with the show's lazy director.
