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 woman goes through the small repeated actions of daily life. Each moment feels similar but never exactly the same.

The French-Japanese co-production film depicts the succession of moments that we repeat over and over again in ordinary life but they are never the same, and everything changes and wavers.
