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

The Merry Vineyard (German: Der fröhliche Weinberg) is a 1927 German silent comedy film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Rudolf Rittner, Camilla Horn and Lotte Neumann. It was based on a play by Carl Zuckmayer, and was remade in 1952 as a sound film. The playwright had strong reservations about having his work translated on screen but never opposed any film adaptation. The film's art direction was by Oscar Friedrich Werndorff.
