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
In 1990s southern China, a 9-year-old girl named Chichi stays with her grandmother, aunt, and cousin while her mother has surgery. She watches the women in her family face their difficulties and begins to think about her own future as she grows up.
