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

Máj je český film F. A. Brabce natočený v roce 2008 na motivy stejnojmenné básně Karla Hynka Máchy. Jde o kombinaci úryvků z původní Máchovy básně, kterou zde recituje kat a vypravěč v jedné osobě, hraného příběhu nešťastného milostného trojúhelníku otce (Hynka), syna (Víléma) a dívky Jarmily (všichni hrdinové kvůli lásce zemřou násilnou smrtí) a filmové hudby české hudební skupiny Support Lesbiens.
