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

At the End of the World (French: Au bout du monde) is a 1934 French-German drama film directed by Henri Chomette and Gustav Ucicky and starring Pierre Blanchar, Käthe von Nagy and Charles Vanel. It was made at the Babelsberg Studios of UFA outside Berlin, as the French-language version of the film Refugees (1933). It was co-produced and distributed by L'Alliance Cinématographique Européenne, the French subsidiary of UFA. Käthe von Nagy appeared in both versions, but her male co-start and supporting casts were different. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
