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 salaryman near retirement causes a traffic accident and faces a relentless demand for money from the victim. Handling the situation leaves him alienated from his family so he quits his job and begins cleaning curve mirrors around the country. The story follows his journey and the gradual mending of his family bonds.
