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

Zwei Deutsche ist ein Dokumentarfilm des DEFA-Studios für Dokumentarfilme von Gitta Nickel aus dem Jahr 1988. Dieser Dokumentarfilm erzählt von den zwei 1928 geborenen Männern Hans-Georg Henke († 1997) aus Finsterwalde in der DDR und Wilhelm Hübner († 2010) aus Landshut in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Beide wurden weltweit bekannt durch Fotografien in Uniformen der Deutschen Wehrmacht, die gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1945 von den zirka 17-Jährigen gemacht wurden. Jetzt im Jahr 1988, also 43 Jahre später, erzählen die inzwischen 60-jährigen Männer aus ihrem Leben und welche Lehren sie aus den harten Prüfungen ihrer jungen Jahre gezogen haben.
