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 lonely university professor in Tehran meets a young woman who is waiting for someone. Over several nights they talk and he falls for her, but she is tied to another person. The story follows their brief connection in a city that feels both big and intimate.

What happens
Shabhaye roshan (in persiano شبهای روشن, lett. "Notti bianche") è un film del 2003 diretto da Farzad Motamen, liberamente tratto dall'omonimo racconto di Fëdor Dostoevskij. La sceneggiatura di Saeed Aghighi è anche una rivisitazione del film del 1957 di Luchino Visconti. L'adattamento sposta l'ambientazione dalla San Pietroburgo del racconto di Dostoevskij alla Teheran contemporanea, trasforma l'impiegato sognatore in un professore universitario e sviluppa il rapporto tra i due protagonisti in un modo che riflette le convenzioni socioculturali persiane.
