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 driver with manic depression named Chae-geun agrees to pretend to be the fiancé of a waitress named Jin-hee. Her father, a victim of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, asks Chae-geun to help him get revenge on those responsible.
