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
Based on the life of Latvian filmmaker Juris Podnieks, the film follows his experiences during the January 1991 events in Latvia that led to the country regaining independence.
