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

This film follows Italian soldiers who return from peacekeeping missions abroad and fall ill with cancer. It focuses on the struggle to prove that their sicknesses came from exposure to depleted uranium during their service.

What happens

Le ultime 56 ore è un film del 2010 diretto da Claudio Fragasso. La pellicola, con protagonisti Gianmarco Tognazzi, Luca Lionello e Barbora Bobuľová, sceneggiata da Rossella Drudi, tratta l'argomento della cosiddetta sindrome dei Balcani, ovvero la lunga serie di malattie – per lo più linfomi di Hodgkin e altre forme di cancro – imputabili all'uso dell'uranio impoverito, che hanno colpito i soldati dell'Esercito Italiano al ritorno dalle missioni di pace internazionali. Questo film è stato dichiarato di interesse culturale dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali e, nonostante la tematica trattata, ha ricevuto il sostegno del Ministero della Difesa. È uscito nelle sale italiane il 7 maggio 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
