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 Scottish family's weekly routine centers on 13 year old Darren's youth football. His mother worries about his upcoming review that could end his time with the club. The film quietly shows the bond between a mother and her son as they wait to learn his fate.
