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 boy in a poor neighborhood of Phnom Penh experiences vivid dreams about his past life. He sets out on a quest with friends to find a lost artifact that may reveal the truth behind these visions.
