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

Hanna Amon is a 1951 German Agfacolor drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Kristina Söderbaum, Lutz Moik and Ilse Steppat. It was shot at the Göttingen Studios and on location in Upper Bavaria. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Berthel and Rochus Gliese. It was the second film after Immortal Beloved (also 1951) in a post-war comeback by director Harlan and his wife Söderbaum, who remained controversial figures due to their association with the Nazi era. Both films were major commercial hits, despite calls for a boycott. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
