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

Co je vám, doktore? je československý barevný film režiséra Víta Olmera z roku 1984 natočený podle námětu Antonína Máši ve Filmovém studiu Barrandov. Natáčelo se i v samotném objektu Studia Barrandov (interiéry počítačového střediska). V Ostravě se točilo v komplexu dřívější Nové huti Klementa Gottwalda (dnes Liberty Ostrava). Některé zlomové momenty ve filmu jsou „podtrženy“ či zvýrazněny hudební vložkou nebo prostřihem. Bohouš Burda, stomatolog ve středním věku (Zdeněk Svěrák), nesnáší pragmatičnost a faleš lidí kolem sebe a rozhodne se tomu čelit po svém: prodá auto, vrátí se do krajiny svého dětství, nakonec se rozvede a začne nový život s mladou „nezkaženou“ ženou.
