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

Lóve is a 2011 Slovak-language film directed by Jakub Kroner, starring Michal Nemtuda and Kristína Svarinská, alongside Jakub Gogál. The action-romantic drama was released on 13 October 2011, distributed by Continental Film in Slovakia and Falcon in the Czech Republic. Although the plot revolves around love determination, the original title refers to "money" instead, which serves as instrumental, quoting a term commonly used in the region amongst gypsies - "lóve." In English, therefore, "Falling in Money," "Love Deal," or "Dirty Love" could be used as apt equivalents for the title. Despite the mixed reviews upon its theatrical release, the work has been ranked amongst the highest-grossing films in the Slovak cinema era, at number three as of November 2014.
