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

Ciemno – polski spektakl telewizyjny z roku 1995, autorstwa Marka Rębacza. Akcja toczy się w Ciemnie, zabitej deskami wsi, na której od średniowiecza niewiele się nie zmieniło. Przejeżdżający przez wieś główny bohater, ratując psa doprowadza do kolizji drogowej w której uszkadza swój samochód. Tak naprawdę dopiero po tym niegroźnym wypadku zaczynają się jego prawdziwe kłopoty. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
