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 shopkeeper with a serious hereditary illness worries about who will run his business. His wife struggles with debt from a loan she cosigned for her brother. Their teenage daughter wants to move out, and the wife brings home the husband's adult son who has been away for a long time.
