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 a man who returns to his family's home in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon after many years away. It captures his daily life and the memories that resurface as he reconnects with the place and the people there.
