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
An older man waiting for a heart transplant tries to maintain peace at a countryside cottage with his wife and teenage daughter. When his son arrives wanting to talk about personal matters, the mother tries to shield the father from stress. The family struggles with honesty and hidden concerns about how much the truth might hurt him.
