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 1960s Japan, a widower and aspiring writer works as a trade paper reporter while raising his young daughter with help from his mother. The story follows his decade-long journey toward winning a major literary prize, told through his daughter's perspective.
