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 career woman named Miyako marries a man named Shinobu after meeting him while scuba diving. They move into a two family home with his parents and two sisters, leading to clashes between Miyako and her old-fashioned mother in law Machiko. The conflicts grow more complicated when the husband of one sister, a struggling musician, also joins the household, but tensions ease after Miyako has a son and tries to balance work and parenting.
