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.

How it feels

The film covers three generations of a German family from the 1910s to the 1950s. It shows how the legacy of World War I shapes their lives into the Nazi era and the postwar years. The story is told through jumpy non-linear scenes that require close attention.
