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 loyal communist works to establish the party in a Ukrainian village. He watches the forced famine of 1932-33 destroy the community and decides to save 2800 villagers instead of serving the oppressive ideology.
