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 group of teenage boys are held in a harsh reform school on a remote Norwegian island in the early 1900s. The story follows a quiet new arrival and a defiant rebel as they push back against the cruel warden and a system of abuse.
