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
Scheherazade tells three stories for the king. One is about a judge who refuses to give a sentence. Another follows a murderer who runs and escapes in strange ways. The third involves a wounded cow that remembers an old olive tree.
