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

In 1980s China, a Peking opera singer named Xiao Yanqiu becomes so devoted to her art that it starts to weigh on her heart. The series follows her life as her identity merges with the roles she performs, blurring the line between her personal story and the dramas she sings.
