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

Ready, Steady, Charlie! (German: Achtung, fertig, Charlie!) is a 2003 Swiss German-language comedy film directed by Mike Eschmann and written by David Keller and Michael Sauter. It stars Michael Koch, Melanie Winiger, and Marco Rima, and follows a young man who is called up to military recruit school on his wedding day and devises a plan to get expelled. The film set an opening-weekend record for a Swiss film and became the country’s most successful domestic film since The Swissmakers (1978). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
