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.

What happens

Med verden imellem os er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2014 instrueret af Nitesh Anjaan. Nitesh' far har taget en beslutning. Den vil forandre ikke blot resten af hans eget liv, men også hans børns - for altid. Han vil opgive sin danske opholdstilladelse og flytte tilbage til Indien, hvorfra han i sin tid kom til Danmark. Og når det først er gjort, kan han ikke ombestemme sig. Som filmen skrider frem afdækkes et stadig mere sammensat og dramatisk billede af et liv, der ikke gik efter planen. Fra han ankom til Danmark som ung Bob Marley-fan med langt hår (og måtte låse sig inde af sorg, da idolet døde på hans 18-års fødselsdag), til tingene begyndte at løbe af sporet for ham, oprulles en meget menneskelig historie om dyb spilafhængighed, migration og de skrøbelige, men ikke desto mindre stærke bånd imellem far og søn.
