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

Ga-ga: Glory To The Heroes (Polish: Ga, ga: Chwała bohaterom) is a 1986 Polish science fiction dystopian film directed by Piotr Szulkin. The film was based on the novel Kryptonym Psima (1982) by Mirosław P. Jabłoński and the "La Ricotta" segment in film Ro.Go.Pa.G (1963) by Pier Paol Pasolini. It is the last part of the director's thematic apocalypse tetralogy, which consists of Golem, The War of the Worlds: Next Century and O-bi, O-ba:The End of Civilization. The film follows a convict condemned to explore and conquer an earth colony where, upon his arrival he is declared a "hero". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
