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

Der letzte Appell ist ein aufgrund des Kriegsausbruchs 1939 unvollendet gebliebenes, deutsches See- und Weltkriegs-Filmdrama mit propagandistischen Untertönen von Max W. Kimmich. Die Hauptrollen spielen Emil Jannings und Werner Krauß. Dem zum Ruhm der deutschen Marine bei ihrem Kriegseinsatz 1914 gegen England gestalteten Film liegt das Bühnenstück „Fahrt nach Orplid“ (1936) von Bernd Hofmann zugrunde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
