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

Kam, pánové, kam jdete? je československý barevný film natočený režisérem Karlem Kachyňou v roce 1987 na námět Milana Ležáka ve Filmovém studiu Barrandov. V hlavní roli architekta procházejícího krizí středního věku se představí Karel Heřmánek. Filmová alegorie reflektuje náladu v československé společnosti 80. let 20. století stižené tehdejší šedou realitou a bezútěšností. V úvodu filmu (a pak ještě dále v ději) hraje na koncertě skladba Co s tím sklem hudební skupiny Tango, ve filmu se objeví i část videoklipu Karel nese asi čaj od Jiřího Korna.
