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 young man struggles against the rules of society. The film looks at mental illness and growing up, questioning what is healthy and what is not.

What happens
Utopia Blues ist ein Schweizer Spielfilm über psychische Krankheit und das Erwachsenwerden. Es ist die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes, der sich den Spielregeln der Gesellschaft widersetzt. Der Film stellt die Frage, wo die Grenze zwischen „gesund“ und „krank“ ist. Stefan Haupt zitiert den bekannten Psychiater Ronald D. Laing: „Krankheiten können auch gesunde Reaktionen auf kranke Verhältnisse sein.“ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
