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 nephew follows a forgotten letter to learn the fate of his Republican uncle from the Spanish Civil War. A researcher investigates a deportee after reading a novel by Javier Cercas. Their paths cross and they find that the lives of their ancestors are connected, uncovering the story of František Suchý and his son who defied the Nazis from a Prague crematorium to save the ashes of over 2,000 victims.
