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
Three friends in the San Francisco Bay Area are trying to figure out their lives and what they want. They eventually end up in New York City, where each of them has to face where their lives might be heading.
