The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Wyrm is a 2019 American surrealist dark comedy science fiction film written and directed by Christopher Winterbauer in his feature-length directorial debut. It is based on Winterbauer's short film of the same name and stars Theo Taplitz as the titular Wyrm, an awkward teenager who attends a dystopian school where students wear electronic collars that can only be detached once they have experienced their first kiss.
