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

Tante Trude aus Buxtehude ("Aunt Trude from Buxtehude") is a 1971 West German comedy film directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb and starring Rudi Carrell, Ilja Richter and Theo Lingen. It was one of several German films in the wake of the 1959 film Some Like It Hot that used cross-dressing as a comic theme. The film's sets were designed by Eberhard Schröder. Some of the film was shot in the Austrian city of Salzburg. It features a number of songs performed by leading German Schlager music singers of the era. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
