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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Sachsens Glanz und Preußens Gloria ist ein sechsteiliger Fernsehfilm, der auf historische Ereignisse der Jahre 1697 bis 1763 zurückgeht, basierend auf dem Roman von Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. Zusammen mit dem Mehrteiler Die gläserne Fackel von 1989, der die Chronik der Firma Carl Zeiss wiedergibt, gehört die Großproduktion am Ende der DDR zu den wenigen positiv auslegbaren Darstellungen des Feudalismus bzw. des Imperialismus der DDR-Filmgeschichte und thematisiert die brandenburgisch-sächsischen Beziehungen. Die Ausstattungsqualität und die Zahl der Darsteller übertraf alle bisherigen DEFA-Filme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
