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
The film shows visitors walking through the concentration camps of Sachsenhausen and Dachau. It watches people take photos, listen to audio guides, and move through the sites. The movie notes the contrast between the dark history and the tourism happening there.
