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 grandmother takes her nonbinary teenager to Amsterdam to visit the teen's grandfather, an aging gay man who came out later in life. The trip stirs up family history and conversations about identity and acceptance across generations.
