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

Kopflos ist ein Fernsehfilm aus der Krimireihe Tatort der vom Hessischen Rundfunk (HR) unter der Regie von Sylvia Hoffman produziert und am 22. Januar 1989 im Programm Das Erste zum ersten Mal gesendet wurde. Es handelt sich um die 215. Tatort-Folge und den fünften Fall des Frankfurter Kriminalhauptkommissars Edgar Brinkmann. Brinkmann muss diesmal einen überführten Mörder laufen lassen, weil „höherrangige Sicherheitsinteressen des Landes“ es erfordern. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
