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 woman travels to Hong Kong after her father's death and meets two half-sisters she never knew she had. The three women navigate their shared grief and discover their family history through the flavors of Sichuan cuisine.
