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

Annas Mutter ist ein deutsches Filmmelodram aus dem Jahr 1984. Der Film basiert auf der wahren Geschichte der Marianne Bachmeier. In diesem Film heißt sie Marianne Grünwald und erschießt den Mörder ihrer Tochter Anna im Gerichtssaal. Sie wird mit dieser Tat zu einem Medienereignis und Heldin in der Bevölkerung. Die Nachforschungen im Leben der Marianne Grünwald lassen jedoch bald Zweifel an der Integrität Mariannes aufkommen und die Mutter erscheint der Öffentlichkeit bald als Rabenmutter.
