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 filmmaker travels to Zurich to confront his grandfather, a 90 year old man who lost the family fortune and stole money from others through bad investments. The grandfather is now poor and sick, but obsessed with making one last deal to pay off his debts before he dies.
