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.

What happens

Queen and Country is a 2014 British drama film written and directed by John Boorman. It was screened at the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. The film is a sequel to Boorman's Hope and Glory (1987), and features several of the same characters, although, because of the passage of time, David Hayman is the only actor from the first film to reprise his role.
