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

The film follows five patients living with terminal illnesses as they use singing to navigate their uncertain futures. It explores how modern medicine has extended life after a diagnosis, making the experience one of long term uncertainty rather than imminent decline.
