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 woman in Nazi-occupied Paris waits for news of her husband who has been arrested. She struggles with fear and uncertainty as she tries to survive while seeking his release. The story is based on the author's own experiences.
