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

In a Naples apartment building, the daily lives and relationships of the residents and visitors unfold. Each character realizes that happiness and sadness are only temporary, and they try to 'steal' a better future from tomorrow even if it is often an illusion.

What happens

Ladri di futuro è un film commedia del 1991, sceneggiato e diretto da Enzo Decaro. In un condominio situato in uno dei tanti quartieri della città di Napoli, si svolgono le vicende dei residenti dei vari appartamenti e delle persone che vi accedono per qualche mansione. Ciascuno dei personaggi si rende conto che la felicità o la tristezza sono solo attuali; il titolo del film prende spunto infatti dal fatto che si tende a voler "rubare" la possibile felicità del giorno successivo, sperando che sia migliore di quello appena trascorso, anche se il più delle volte si tratta solo di illusione.
