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
During World War I, a group of lively young women decide to boost soldiers' morale by writing to them as their war godmothers. One woman, Madeleine, writes to a soldier named Jacques under the false identity of her late grandmother, leading to humorous complications when he returns on leave and demands to meet her in person.
