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.

How it feels

A mild-mannered grocery store manager and family man shows quiet signs of enormous internal pressure. One Sunday night he calmly kills his wife and son then sets out on a journey that shifts from a feeling of liberation to desperation.

What happens

Am Ende der Nacht ist ein Schweizer Film von Regisseur Christoph Schaub aus dem Jahr 1992. Robert Tanner ist ein unscheinbarer höflicher Mann, Filialleiter eines Lebensmittelladens und Familienvater. In seinem Leben zeigen sich kleine Zeichen von grossem innerem Druck. In einer Sonntagnacht bringt Robert seine Frau und seinen Sohn um – merkwürdig ruhig begeht er den Mord. Am nächsten Tag macht er sich auf eine Reise. Anfänglich treibt ihn das Gefühl der Befreiung, bis er in eine verzweifelte Situation gerät. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
