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 North Korean woman becomes a South Korean citizen against her will. For seven years she tries to return to her family in the North, but political absurdity blocks every attempt. Meanwhile her family in North Korea continues their lives without her, and she worries she will become only a fading memory to them.
