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

Prawo i pięść ("The Law and the Fist") is a 1964 Polish post-war Eastern drama film directed by Jerzy Hoffman and Edward Skórzewski. Based on a 1964 novel of the same name (originally published as Toast) by Józef Hen, the film sparked a lively reaction among critics: some praised its adaptation of Western conventions to the Polish context, while others criticized it for being merely an imitation of American Westerns. It has since achieved cult status and is regarded as a significant work in the history of Polish cinema. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
