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

Two high school students who each feel out of place in the real world cope in different ways. One decides to become a robot to get through his days, while the other seeks real feelings through playing with death. The film follows these clumsy young people as they try to find something meaningful in their harsh lives.
