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
It is about a young woman working as a teacher at a girls school in a suburb of Tehran. She becomes increasingly lethargic from the constant subtle and structural violence she faces in everyday life.

What happens
Paradise (Originaltitel: Ma dar Behesht) ist das Langspielfilmdebüt des iranischen Filmregisseurs Sina Ataeian Dena. Die iranisch-deutsche Co-Produktion feierte 2015 im Hauptwettbewerb des 68. Festival del film Locarno seine Weltpremiere. Das Drama ist eine Gesellschaftsstudie und handelt von einer jungen Frau im heutigen Teheran, die als Lehrerin an einer Mädchenschule in der Vorstadt arbeitet und in Folge der alltäglich erlebten unterschwelligen, strukturellen Gewalt zunehmend lethargisch wird.
