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 divorced man named Minsu encounters a stranger who brings a birthday present for Minsu's son, Hoon-i. Minsu says Hoon-i is not at school but claims to know where he is. The two men go together to search for Hoon.
