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 camera flies over Tokyo, starting with wide city views and slowly zooming in on people going about their day. It shows the urban landscape and small human moments without any narration or story.
