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 man develops a new friendship with his neighbor, but their bond gradually becomes dangerous and disturbing. It is a story about trust turning into manipulation.

What happens
The Good Neighbour (German: Unter Nachbarn) is a 2011 German drama/thriller film directed by Stephan Rick. It premiered in competition at the 2011 Shanghai International Film Festival and was screened at the 2011 Montreal World Film Festival and the Hof International Film Festival. In 2022, Rick directed an English-language remake of his own film (under the same title), starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Robert Graetz, Luke Kleintank as David Ahrens, Eloise Smyth as Vanessa Rafael, Bruce Davison as Grant and Ieva Florence as Janine Rafael. The Good Neighbour was shot on location in Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden (including the Waldenecksee) and Mannheim, Germany. The thriller, about a new friendship between two men that takes a dark turn, is Rick's debut feature film. His previous work, the children's TV series Allein gegen die Zeit, had been nominated for the German Television Award and the International Emmy Award. The film received half its funding from German broadcaster ARD's SWR unit and from the film fund of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Charly Hübner was awarded "Best German actor" of 2013, a Golden Camera Award.
