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.

The Devil's Bath (German: Des Teufels Bad) is a 2024 historical horror drama film written and directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, and starring Anja Plaschg. The film is based on the book Suicide by Proxy in Early Modern Germany: Crime, Sin and Salvation by Kathy Stuart, as well as the criminal trial records for Agnes Catherina Schickin (Württemberg, Germany, 1704) and Eva Lizlfellnerin (Puchheim, Austria, 1761-62). An international co-production between Austria and Germany, the film tells the story of Agnes, a young married woman, who does not feel at home in her husband's world. The film had its world premiere at the Main Competition of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, on 20 February 2024, where it competed for the Golden Bear. It was released in Austria on 8 March 2024, and received positive reviews from critics.
