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

I by Day, You by Night (German: Ich bei Tag und du bei Nacht) is a 1932 German musical comedy film directed by Ludwig Berger and starring Käthe von Nagy and Willy Fritsch. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios and on location at the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. The film's sets were designed by the art director Otto Hunte. It premiered in Berlin on 29 November 1932. As was common at the time, separate English and French-language versions were released, both directed by Berger. The British version Early to Bed was co-produced with Gaumont British. The plot is very similar to the 1933 American film, Rafter Romance and its 1937 remake, Living on Love, though these films are based on a 1932 novel also named "Rafter Romance".
