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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A young restorer and a returned expert work together to fix a diary from the Republican era. As they restore the pages, they uncover the story of a female agent on a secret mission in the 1930s and 1940s. The past and present intertwine as loyalties and secrets come to light.
