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
In 1890, an Englishwoman travels across the American West to confront the man she holds responsible for her son's death. Along the way, she forms a bond with a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout. They face harsh landscapes and violent people together.
