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 a small town trapped in a frozen moment after a factory explosion, teenagers grapple with unchanging lives and forbidden emotions. A boy meets two girls, and a love triangle forms as they try to understand a strange world where nothing ages or leaves.
