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.

How it feels

This Polish comedy follows several interconnected stories about ordinary people trying to get by in Warsaw under Communism. The film pokes fun at the ridiculous situations and bureaucratic nonsense they face every day.

What happens

What Will You Do When You Catch Me? (Polish: Co mi zrobisz, jak mnie złapiesz?) is a Polish comedy film released in 1978, directed by Stanisław Bareja. What Will You Do shares many themes with Bareja's other comedies, especially Teddy Bear, with an emphasis on the sheer absurdity of life under Communism. The plot is very convoluted similarly to other Bareja's screwball comedies and includes many interconnected storylines as well as scenes of the day-to-day lives of the hapless citizens of Warsaw.
