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

mini|Filmplakat von 1983 Das Mikado Projekt ist eine deutsche Low-Budget-Produktion aus dem Jahr 1983. Der erfolglose Privatdetektiv Rudolf Randolf Wickenreuter (Torsten Emrich), der sich sehnlichst wünscht, Geheimagent zu werden, wird versehentlich für den Topagenten Max Mikado gehalten. Doch seine Tollpatschigkeit ist markerschütternd, und seine Unterstützer, der eiskalte Beppo Bourbon (Eddie Constantine) und die fesche Agentin Doris Sand (Sabine Stoffel), ahnen, dass Wickenreuter nicht der ist, der er zu sein vorgibt. Doch alle eint ein Ziel: die Geheimorganisation „Skafisch“ zu zerschlagen. Das Spionagetrio kämpft gegen Ninjas, Geheimagenten, den diabolischen Bösewicht Dr. Golz und stolpert dabei von einer haarsträubenden Panne in die nächste. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
