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

Three unmarried Japanese women in their 30s navigate social pressure and personal choices. One is a career-focused executive who wants a family, one is a divorced woman content with her independence, and one is a materialistic partygoer seeking a wealthy husband.
