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

Marriage Strike (German: Ehestreik) is a 1930 German silent comedy film directed by Carl Boese and starring Livio Pavanelli, Maria Paudler and Georg Alexander. The film's sets were designed by the art director August Rinaldi. It was made at the tail-end of silent film production, as sound film was rapidly taking over. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
