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 British judge must rule on a case involving a teenage boy who refuses a life-saving blood transfusion for religious reasons. The film follows her as she navigates the weight of her decision and its personal impact on her own life.
