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 woman who works at an astronomical observatory saves a man from suicide and teaches him a special word that has deep personal meaning for her. The word helps him find a reason to live. The story is told almost entirely through still photographs.
