The Halo Effect
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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A middle-aged man in a small Irish town gets drawn into the lives of the people around him, including a young woman and a local troublemaker. Their small, everyday encounters lead to unexpected connections and quiet changes.
