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

The Merry Vineyard (German: Der fröhliche Weinberg) is a 1952 West German comedy film directed by Erich Engel and starring Gustav Knuth, Camilla Spira and Wilfried Seyferth. It is based on a play by Carl Zuckmayer which had previously been made into a silent film in 1927, of which this film is a remake. It was made at the Tempelhof Studios in West Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Franz Schroedter. It is sometimes known by the alternative title of The Grapes Are Ripe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
