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 seven-year-old boy from Dublin goes to rural Poland for a summer holiday. His mother tells him to speak only Polish. When he asks where aliens fit into nature, it brings back memories from her own childhood.

What happens
The History Student is a 2015 Irish-Polish film directed by Graham Jones about a seven-year-old boy from Dublin who is spending a rural summer holiday in his mother's native Poland and on strict instructions to speak only that country's language - when he finds the words to ask where aliens fit into nature, it stirs memories of her own childhood when the answer was clear.
