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 woman who started selling sex as a teenager now faces middle age, moving between places and men. A gentle man appears in her life now and then, offering brief comfort but never changing her path. They hold each other and cry, worn down by time.
