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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Ľalie poľné sú v poradí druhý celovečerný film slovenského režiséra Ela Havettu. Film bol nakrútený v roku 1972 a jedná sa o lyrizovanú tragikomédiu zasadenú do prostredia slovenskej dediny po skončení 1. svetovej vojny. Dej sa zameriava na vojnových vyslúžilcov, ktorí sa snažia dať svojmu životu zmysel. Film bol nakrútený podľa novely Vincenta Šikulu Nebýva na každom vršku hostinec (1966), ktorá predstavuje experimentálnu líniu slovenskej prózy. Vincent Šikula sa tiež podieľal na scenári k filmu.
