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

Aleluia, Gretchen é um filme brasileiro de 1976, do gênero drama, dirigido por Sylvio Back e direção de fotografia de José Medeiros, com coprodução e distribuição da Embrafilme. Apesar dos personagens principais serem alemães, o filme é todo falado em português. O tema de abertura é "A Cavalgada das Valquírias" de Wagner, utilizada como um hino nazista e com arranjos distorcidos na interpretação do grupo "O Terço", que lembra o hino norte-americano tocado por Jimi Hendrix.
