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 29-year-old elementary school teacher in Tokyo feels ignored by her students and uncertain about her relationship. She turns to hip-hop for comfort but gets crushed in her first rap battle. The film follows her as she tries to find her own way to be genuine.
