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 teenage boy from a working-class family wins a place at an elite Nazi boarding school. He forms a close friendship with a sensitive classmate, but the rigid discipline and brutal ideology of the school put everything at risk.
