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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Stawka większa niż życie – polski 14-odcinkowy czarno-biały spektakl telewizyjny, emitowany od 28 stycznia 1965 do 23 lutego 1967 w jedynym wówczas programie TVP. Główną rolę, szpiega działającego w strukturach Abwehry, zagrał Stanisław Mikulski – najpierw jako porucznik (oberleutnant), później jako kapitan (hauptmann) Hans Kloss (będący w rzeczywistości Polakiem – radzieckim agentem o pseudonimie J-23). Spektakle z tej serii były grane i nadawane na żywo, z wykorzystaniem jako wstawki przygotowanych uprzednio fragmentów filmowych. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
