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

Eine von uns ist ein deutscher Spielfilm aus dem Jahre 1932, gestaltet nach der Romanvorlage Gilgi, eine von uns von Irmgard Keun. Unter der Regie von Johannes Meyer spielte Brigitte Helm die Hauptrolle der praktisch veranlagten und bodenständigen Gilgi und wurde damit gänzlich gegen ihren sonst gängigen Typus des mondänen Vamps oder der Femme Fatale besetzt.
