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.

What happens

In Amethyst Color (Persian: به رنگ ارغوان, romanized: Be Rang-e Arḡavān) (poor-translated as the In Purple Color and The Color Purple) is a 2005 Iranian drama film directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia and starring Hamid Farokhnezhad and Farhad Ghaemian. Hatamikia won the Crystal Simorgh for Best Director in 2010.
