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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A family moves from a small Anatolian town to Istanbul. The son named Ömer runs a gas cylinder business but gets tangled in dirty deals with a friend. He drifts away from his family and gets trapped in the city's seedy nightlife.
