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

Princess, At Your Orders! (French: Princesse, à vos ordres!) is a 1931 German romantic comedy film directed by Hanns Schwarz and Max de Vaucorbeil and starring Lilian Harvey, Henri Garat, and Jean Mercanton. It was produced by UFA as the French-language version of the studio's film Her Grace Commands. In the early years of sound films, before the practice of dubbing became widespread, it was common for a film to be reshot in multiple languages. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
