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 young blind boy and his older sister are taken in by Buddhist monks after their mother dies. The film follows their life at the temple as the boy bonds with the monks and learns about kindness and loss.
