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
A screenwriter dies and her ex-husband, a failed actor turned driver, must organize her funeral in a small village. There he encounters her daughter and a cast of quirky TV people, all grappling with their own mixed feelings about her. The ceremony descends into chaotic arguments and comic scenes, revealing the deep affection everyone still holds for her.
