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.

How it feels

A German family runs a small circus in the 1960s. They travel from town to town, trying to keep their traditional business alive while film and television draw audiences away. The Farells face funny and sometimes tricky adventures with their performers and the people they meet.

What happens

Zirkus meines Lebens ist eine in Schwarz-Weiß produzierte Fernsehserie des ZDF, die 1968 ausgestrahlt wurde. Vater Walter, Mutter Lydia und die Kinder Alexandra und Niko sind die Farells, eine Familie, die mit ihrem kleinen Zirkus von Stadt zu Stadt zieht. Sie müssen sich wie viele andere Familienzirkusse damit auseinandersetzen, dass im Zeitalter von Film und Fernsehen ihr Traditionsunternehmen wirtschaftlich in der Krise steckt. Im Handlungsverlauf erlebt die Familie zahlreiche lustige, turbulente und auch nicht ungefährliche Abenteuer, in die einzelne ihrer Artisten und auch Zuschauer verwickelt sind.
