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 world where people use an app for life decisions and feelings are accessed like theme park attractions, a woman removes her own heart. She gives it to a man she loves, and he must navigate this strange gift.

What happens
With Love and a Major Organ is a 2023 Canadian fantasy drama film, directed by Kim Albright, and starring Anna Maguire and Hamza Haq. Based on a stage play by Julia Lederer, the film is set in an alternate reality in which all human individuality and emotion has been suppressed by technological mediation; life decisions like careers and relationships are mediated by a computer application called LifeZap rather than personal passions, emotions are explored only in facilities that resemble escape rooms, and even the heart itself is simply a physical object that can be removed from a person's chest. The cast includes Veena Sood, Donna Benedicto, Arghavan Jenati, Laara Sadiq, Ryan Beil, Kerën Burkett, Enid-Raye Adams, Miho Suzuki, Ken Godmere, Linda Pollard, Jennifer Copping, Michael Daingerfield, Lynda Boyd, Calix Fraser and William Vaughan.
