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
In a 1900 Parisian brothel, the lives of several prostitutes unfold as they navigate their daily routines, personal relationships, and the looming threat of change from the outside world. The film shows the quiet rituals, small rebellions, and hidden sorrows of the women who live and work together in this confined space.
