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

Fregola is a 1948 Austrian musical film directed by Harald Röbbeling and starring Marika Rökk, Rudolf Prack and Siegfried Breuer. It was a comeback film for Rökk, one of the most popular stars of the Third Reich, who hadn't made a film since 1944. It was shot at the Sievering Studios in Vienna. The film was released on the day of Christmas 1948 in Vienna, and on the 4th of July 1949 in Munich. The film was popular with West German audiences, particularly amongst women.
