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
In a future prison, a condemned man survives his execution and is given a chance to live. He is placed in a room with another surviving serial killer for an experiment to see how long they can coexist without killing each other. When they do not fight, a woman is sent in to provoke them.
