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
An old and poor tailor in Tunis hunts for a hidden treasure in a tunnel under his house. When the home collapses, he becomes trapped with his wife and children in the rubble and must struggle to keep them safe and find a way out.
