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

Verschwende deine Jugend ist ein 2003 veröffentlichter deutscher Film, der in der Elektro-/New-Wave- bzw. späten Punk-Szene spielt. Darsteller sind u. a. Tom Schilling, Robert Stadlober und Jessica Schwarz. Der Filmtitel ist einem 2001 erschienenen Dokumentarroman Jürgen Teipels entnommen, weist aber zu dessen „nachdenklicher Buchvorlage“ wenig Gemeinsamkeiten auf. Verschwende deine Jugend ist auch der Titel eines Liedes der in der Handlung auftauchenden Düsseldorfer Band Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft (DAF). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
