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

Nikdo se nebude smát je československý film z roku 1965, řadící se k dílům Československé nové vlny. Jedná se o celovečerní debut režiséra Hynka Bočana. Předlohou k filmu byla stejnojmenná povídka ze sbírky povídek Směšné lásky od spisovatele Milana Kundery. Snímek pojednává o zdánlivě bezstarostném životě odborného asistenta Karla Klímy, který nedokáže lidem do očí říkat nepříjemnou pravdu. Hlavní roli odborného asistenta Akademie výtvarných umění zde ztvárnil Jan Kačer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
