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 middle-aged man on the verge of losing his job, home, and marriage turns to his elderly mother for comfort and guidance. Their conversations reveal the challenges of growing older and the strength of their bond.
