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
This documentary follows an elderly Japanese couple who return to a remote mountain home after raising their children. They live a simple life of farming and cooking over a wood fire, but their aging forces their youngest daughter to move in and help them.

What happens
ふたりの桃源郷（ふたりのとうげんきょう）は、2016年制作の日本のドキュメンタリー映画。 第二次世界大戦から引き揚げてきた田中寅夫・田中フサコの夫婦。二人は寅夫の故郷に近い中国山地の山奥を切り開き、3人の娘を育て上げた。高度経済成長期に入り、子供たちのことを考え、一度は大阪に移住するが、子供たちが独立したのを見届けると、還暦を過ぎた二人は「自分たちの原点」と語るあの山に戻る。 日中は畑を耕し、湧き水を沸かした風呂につかり、釜で炊くご飯を食べる生活を続ける二人。しかし、やがて二人に「老い」が訪れる。娘たちは山を下りて一緒に暮らすことを提案するが、「この山で最期を迎えたい」と山を離れない。ついには、三女が両親の暮らす山に移住し、二人の暮らしを助ける。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
