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 man drifts through life without direction, feeling like a soap bubble carried by the wind. He travels to a rural town in Japan, where quiet encounters and everyday routines start to give him a sense of place.

Il titolo del film è tratto da una frase del protagonista, che descrive la propria vita come una "bolla di sapone" portata via dal vento nel cielo, senza alcuna meta precisa.
