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

Set in the outskirts and slums of Seoul, the film follows a disconnected group of characters. They include a grandmother divorcing her dead husband, a mortuary worker mother, a gambling-addicted father, and a teenage cabaret singer son. Sparse dialogue and slow pacing gradually reveal their stories before a shocking ending unites them.
