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

Four Latvian women document their own pregnancies from their own perspectives. An ambitious dancer pauses her career. A housewife fears a repeat of postpartum depression. A party-loving woman moves to the countryside and marries. A young entrepreneur and former punk wrestles with past trauma. The film shows that pregnancy is also about the mother's experience.
