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

Dekalog: Six (Polish: Dekalog, sześć) is the sixth part of Dekalog, the drama series of films directed by Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski for television, possibly connected to the sixth imperative of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not commit adultery." A naive young man, Tomek (Olaf Lubaszenko), spies on a woman, Magda (Grażyna Szapołowska), and falls in love with her. An extended 86-minute feature version of this film is called Krótki film o miłości (A Short Film About Love). The ten-part Dekalog series was exhibited in its entirety at the 46th Venice International Film Festival in September 1989, in the Special Events section. Dekalog: Six premiered on Polish Television on 8 June 1990. Along with Dekalog: Five, the film screened in the Cannes Classics section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
