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

Lontano da dove (Away from where) is a 1983 Italian romantic drama film written and directed by Stefania Casini and Francesca Marciano. For this film Monica Scattini was awarded Nastro d'Argento for best supporting actress. It was one of the last releases of Gaumont's Italian subsidiary, which shut down the bulk of its activities around this time due to financial losses from its parent company in France.
