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
An elderly retired pediatrician living with his son and daughter-in-law decides he wants to end his life due to suffering and physical decline. He asks his son to help him die privately, leading to a nighttime journey through Montreal where he faces a choice between medical aid in dying or embracing the small pleasures still left to him.
