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 man is given a small weak animal by his dead father with instructions to care for it and then kill it the following year. The film follows the man's emotional struggle as he tends to the creature knowing its fate.
