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 30 years after a deadly explosion, the film follows Jin-seo, a woman with a mental impairment caused by the disaster, and her brother Tae-woong. They live in a city that has rebuilt itself, but the townspeople still deal with the explosion's aftermath, and men take advantage of Jin-seo's trusting nature.
