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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A homeless man named Joe is hired by four orphaned children to pose as their grandfather so they can stay together as a family. The series follows Joe as he adjusts to life with the kids and they learn to rely on each other.
