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

Heidi and Peter (German: Heidi und Peter) is a 1955 Swiss family drama film directed by Franz Schnyder and starring Heinrich Gretler, Elsbeth Sigmund and Thomas Klameth. It is a sequel to the 1952 film Heidi and an adaptation of the 1881 second volume of the novel Heidi (Heidi kann brauchen, was es gelernt hat) by Johanna Spyri. It was the first Swiss film made in colour and was one of the biggest grossing films in Switzerland for the year. It was shot at the Rosenhof Studios in Zurich and the Bavaria Studios in Munich. Location shooting took place around the Bernese Alps in Western Switzerland. The film's sets were designed by the art director Max Röthlisberger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
