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
The film follows Palestinian refugees as they tell their stories and remember their homeland. It centers on a man who travels back and forth across a border to be with his wife in secret. Their personal struggles unfold against the backdrop of decades of conflict.
