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
This Icelandic comedy series follows the night shift workers at a gas station. It focuses on the awkward and absurd interactions between a few employees and the late-night customers they serve.
