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
During World War Two, a Latvian man helps Jewish people escape the Riga ghetto by hiding them in a coffin and driving them to safety. The film follows him as he faces the danger and moral weight of his actions.
