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

Two sisters are separated when one emigrates to Brazil in 1934 and the other stays in Japan due to an eye disease. Seventy years later they reunite, but the sister left behind feels abandoned. They discover decades of undelivered letters between them, which reveal each sister's struggles and resilience across continents and through war, hardship, and economic change.
