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
When residents of a Hong Kong apartment building find a corpse in their hallway, they band together to secretly move the body to keep their apartments from becoming stigmatized and losing value. The comedy follows their increasingly chaotic and absurd attempts to get rid of the evidence.

What happens
Over My Dead Body (Chinese: 死屍死時四十四) is a 2023 Hong Kong black comedy film directed by Ho Cheuk Tin and co-written by Amy Chin and Kong Ho Yan. Starring Teresa Mo, Ronald Cheng, Wong You-nam, Jennifer Yu, Edan Lui, Yeung Wai-lun, Lau Kong, and Bonnie Wong, the film revolves around a group of apartment residents trying to dispose of a mysterious corpse that has appeared on their floor to prevent their homes from becoming stigmatized properties and losing value. The screenplay began development in March 2019 and was greenlit in October 2021, with Ho Cheuk Tin joining the project that same year, marking his second feature film after The Sparring Partner (2022). Filming commenced in May 2022 and wrapped in June, primarily taking place in Tai Wai, Sha Tin District. The film had its world premiere as the closing film of the 18th Osaka Film Festival on 15 March 2023, followed by a theatrical release in Hong Kong on 4 April. It received two nominations in the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, with Jiro Lee nominated for Best Supporting Actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
