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
Set in villages near a tiger reserve in India, the film follows elderly people who consider sacrificing themselves so their families can get government compensation. It focuses on the harsh reality of poverty driving a family to such extremes.

What happens
Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language adventure drama film written and directed by Srijit Mukherji and produced by T-Series and Reliance Entertainment Studios. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi, Sayani Gupta and Neeraj Kabi in the lead roles. The film was released theatrically on 24 June 2022. It marked the final film of playback singer KK, who died a month before the film's release. The film explores a disturbing socio-economic phenomenon observed in villages surrounding the Pilibhit tiger reserve, where extreme poverty compels some families to either abandon their elderly parents or, in certain cases, leads elderly individuals to voluntarily sacrifice themselves, with the hope that their deaths will result in government compensation for their families.
