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 young doctor serves in the Portuguese colonial war in Angola during the early 1970s. He writes letters to his pregnant wife back home about his daily life and the grim reality around him.
