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
This is a collection of six short films by different South Korean directors. Each short focuses on a specific example of discrimination in Korean society, like prejudice against disabled people or immigrants. The directors were free to choose their own approach and style to tell these stories.

What happens
If You Were Me is a 2003 South Korean omnibus film, comprising six short films directed by six prominent Korean directors, including Park Chan-wook. Commissioned by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea for ₩50 million (US$39,000) each, the shorts deal with discrimination in Korea and the directors were given free rein with regard to subject and style. The film has spawned three live-action sequels, as well as two animated films, which deal with similar themes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
