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

Storm in a Water Glass (German: Sturm im Wasserglas) is a 1960 West German comedy film directed by Josef von Báky and starring Ingrid Andree, Hanns Lothar and Therese Giehse. It is an adaptation of a play by Bruno Frank, which had previously been made into a 1931 film of the same title, and, in 1937, in Great Britain, as, Storm in a Teacup. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut and Johannes Ott. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
