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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
After his father is killed in the war, a boy named Taichi lives alone with his working mother in Tokyo. He befriends an old man who cares for a cherry tree that appears to be dead, and this friendship helps Taichi become more optimistic.
