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
In 2009, children sell cigarettes on the grim streets of postwar Pristina and share stories of hope and loss. Ten years later, as young adults, they still struggle to survive at the bottom of society in one of Europe's youngest and poorest nations. The film is a collective portrait of their human condition.

What happens
Ønskeliv er en dansk dokumentarfilm instrueret af Birgitte Stærmose. I de dystre gader i efterkrigs-Pristina anno 2009, sælger børn cigaretter og hvisker fortællinger om ha°b og tab. Nu, 10 a°r senere, som unge voksne, kæmper de stadig for overlevelse pa° samfundets bund, i en af Europas yngste og fattigste nationer, hvor drømmen om emigration til et andet land eller religion er den eneste reelle flugtmulighed. Et kollektivt portræt af en menneskelig tilstand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
