The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Multiple short stories from a manga artist's early work are stitched together into a comedy about ordinary people. The film follows various characters in a fictional town, all filmed in the artist's real hometown. It shows small awkward and funny moments in daily life.
