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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Graf Yoster gibt sich die Ehre (French title: Le comte Yoster a bien l'honneur) – which translates to English as Count Yoster has the Honour – is a television series produced between 1967 and 1976. Starring Lukas Ammann and Wolfgang Völz, the series followed the adventures of the titular aristocratic gentleman detective and his working-class butler. It was a success, in particular in West Germany and in France. Originally the show was a West German production in black-and-white but it evolved into a European co-production in colour.
