The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 man who was promoted to a board position at a prestigious trading company has to quit his job and return to his rural hometown. He needs to care for his father who has dementia, while dealing with painful memories from his own youth. The father's condition gets worse, making an already hard situation even more demanding.
