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 short film following a woman named China as she walks through a Lisbon neighborhood. Children call out to her as she heads toward a square. She seems to want escape and happiness but carries a heavy sorrow.

What happens
China China é uma curta-metragem portuguesa, realizado por João Pedro Rodrigues e João Rui Guerra da Mata. China desce as escadas em direcção ao Martim Moniz, em Lisboa. "China, China!", gritam as crianças quando ela passa. China vai voar. Fugir para longe ao amanhecer. Ela só quer ser feliz. Mas China bebe o seu próprio veneno. Bebe-o até ao fim. Por vezes o ar parece carregado de mal e o purgatório um jardim infantil. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
