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

When the Alpine Roses Bloom (German: Wenn die Alpenrosen blüh'n) is a 1955 West German drama film directed by Richard Häussler and Hans Deppe and starring Hertha Feiler, Claus Holm, and Marianne Hold. Along with As Long as the Roses Bloom, it was one of two follow-ups directed by Deppe to his hit 1953 heimatfilm When the White Lilacs Bloom Again. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in Berlin and on location in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The film's sets were designed by the art director Heinrich Weidemann. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
