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.

How it feels

A writer who returns to his childhood village in Sardinia is treated like a stranger by the locals. He falls ill and experiences delirious visions of folklore spirits, a friend, and a goddess, eventually finding his identity.

What happens

Ybris è un film del 1984 diretto ed interpretato da Gavino Ledda. Lo scrittore-regista ritorna nei suoi luoghi d'origine, ma viene trattato dai suoi compaesani come fosse un estraneo. Ammalatosi d'ulcera, viene preso da attacchi di delirio durante i quali riceverà le apparizioni rispettivamente degli Amuntadores, folletti della tradizione sarda (che attribuiranno la sua malattia al fatto di essersi allontanato dalle sue tradizioni natie), dell'amico Leonardo, da lui trasfigurato in Leonardo da Vincipag.12 de L'Unità del 26/9/1986, vd.

Alla fine riuscirà a ritrovare se stesso. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
