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 looks at how austerity policies from the European Union affected countries in Southern Europe. It argues that these policies made the financial crisis worse for Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.

What happens
Piigs is a 2017 documentary film by three Italian filmmakers which investigates the causes and the effects of austerity imposed by the European Union on its subject countries, especially in Southern Europe. The film suggests that austerity policies are aggravating the effects of the financial crisis, especially in those countries that economists have called the "PIIGS" (an acronym of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain)—states that suffered high public debt and weak economies.
