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

Os Mucker é um filme teuto-brasileiro de 1978, dirigido pelo brasileiro Jorge Bodanzky e pelo alemão Wolf Gauer. O filme retrata a revolta dos Muckers, ocorrida na década de 1870 na colônia alemã do Rio Grande do Sul. Os mucker eram uma seita religiosa cristã, liderada por uma mulher-profeta, Jacobina Mentz Maurer. Embora ambientado no Brasil, a maior parte do filme é falada em Hunsrückisch, que é o dialeto germânico mais difundido entre os descendentes de alemães no Rio Grande do Sul. Parte do elenco do filme é composto por descendentes de muckers, que não eram atores profissionais. O filme recebeu vários prêmios, inclusive kikitos de melhor atriz, melhor direção e melhor direção de arte. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
