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
The series follows staff and passengers on a cruise ship traveling between Helsinki and Stockholm over the course of one day. It exposes awkward encounters and simmering conflicts among the people on board.
