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
A love story between a man and a woman in the German Democratic Republic. Their relationship faces obstacles from the political climate and the man's protest against a government action.

What happens
Das Versteck ist ein vom DEFA-Studio für Spielfilme, Gruppe „Johannisthal“, produzierter Liebesfilm. Seine Aufführung in der DDR wurde fast zwei Jahre behindert, nachdem der Hauptdarsteller Manfred Krug nach dem Protest gegen die Ausbürgerung von Wolf Biermann zuerst kaltgestellt worden und dann in die BRD übergesiedelt war. Der Film lief schließlich am 6. November 1978 in ausgewählten Kinos der DDR an. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erfolgte die Kinopremiere am 24. August 1979. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
