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 Sherpa family decides to break a cultural taboo and climb a sacred mountain in Nepal, hoping to pay for their son's education. They guide a western expedition up an unclimbed wall, where a young Sherpa boy meets an experienced mountaineer. The film follows their journey as they confront the dangers and spiritual weight of the climb.
