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

Adelheid und ihre Mörder (Adelheid and Her Murderers) was a German comedy-drama television series broadcast between 1993 and 2007 by Das Erste. 65, 50 minute episodes in six series were produced. Directors included Ulrich Stark (6 episodes, 1993-1996), Arend Agthe (6 episodes, 1998-1999), Claus-Michael Rhone (20 episodes, 1996-2001), Stephan Meyer (8 episodes, 2003-2005) and Stefan Bartmann (26 episodes, 2000-2007). The series stars Evelyn Hamann as the titular Adelheid Möbius, a witty secretary working for the Kriminalpolizei in Hamburg. She has the habit of solving the murder case by herself while the "real" investigators are still groping in the dark. However, Adelheid commonly finds herself in great danger when she exposes the murderer, only to be rescued by her colleagues. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
