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 young poet visits a friend in Beijing's suburbs and finds him running a successful chicken farm. He meets a colorblind girl who encourages his writing but still feels stuck. Then he buys a magical record that brings him fame, though success doesn't solve everything.
