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 1980s East Germany, a female doctor is forced to work at a rural hospital after applying to leave the country. She is under surveillance by the secret police, and she navigates a tense existence while forming a cautious connection with a local physician.
