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

In early 1990s Peru, a 15 year old boy named Diego moves to a new neighborhood and tries to fit in with a group of local teenagers. As he navigates friendships, crushes, and peer pressure, the country around him is torn apart by terrorism and political chaos, which slowly starts to affect his everyday life.
