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.

What happens
Sembra mio figlio è un film del 2018 diretto da Costanza Quatriglio. Dopo essere fuggito Kabul da bambino, Ismail vive a Trieste con il fratello Hassan, che ancora risente fisicamente e psicologicamente delle angherie subite dai Talebani. La madre, rimasta in Afghanistan, rifiuta di rispondere alle sue domande, ma forse ne è impedita dall'uomo che dice di essere il suo nuovo marito. Ismail decide allora di tornare nei suoi luoghi di origine per cercarla. Il viaggio, in Pakistan prima e poi in Afghanistan, apre la storia personale alla tragedia del popolo hazara.
