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

Song of Farewell (French: La chanson de l'adieu) is a 1934 historical musical drama film directed by Albert Valentin and Géza von Bolváry and starring Jean Servais, Janine Crispin and Lucienne Le Marchand. It is based on the life of the composer Frédéric Chopin and his relationship with George Sand. It was produced by the German company Boston Films as the French-language version of the German film Farewell Waltz. Such multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arthur Schwarz. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
