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

The Schimeck Family (German: Familie Schimek) is a 1957 Austrian comedy film directed by Georg Jacoby and starring Theo Lingen, Fita Benkhoff and Helga Neuner. The film's sets were designed by the art director Leo Metzenbauer. It is loosely based on the play of the same title by Gustaf Kadelburg, which had previously been adapted into a 1935 German film The Schimeck Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
