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

Land of Lovers (Persian: Diar-e asheghan; alternative English title: Lover's Place) is a 1984 film by the Iranian director Hassan Karbakhsh. Karbakhsh also wrote the script for the film, which starred Mohsen Sadeghi, Parviz Parastui and Ghodrat Latifi. Parastui was lauded at the 1985 Fajr Film Festival for his acting in this film. Set during the Iran-Iraq war, the film is an example of Sacred Defence cinema and is considered "the first film with a distinctly Iranian treatment of the war, although this kind of approach soon gave way to cliches".
