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
Two outcasts in a small Canadian town form an unlikely bond. One is an alienated teen and the other is a non-binary migrant who is a caretaker. Their relationship evolves through quiet moments and shared oddness.
