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

Rheinsberg is a 1967 West German romantic comedy film directed by Kurt Hoffmann and starring Cornelia Froboess, Christian Wolff and Werner Hinz. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Kurt Tucholsky set partly in Rheinsberg. Four years earlier Hoffmann had directed another Tucholsky adaptation, Gripsholm Castle. The film's sets were designed by the art director Werner Schlichting. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in Berlin and on location in Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein. As the real Rheinsberg was then in Communist-controlled East Germany, alternative locations in the West stood in for it. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
