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.
How it feels

What happens
The Sinful People of Prague (Czech: Hříšní lidé města pražského) is a Czechoslovak television series which was first broadcast in 1968. The series was written and directed by Jiří Sequens. The thirteen-part series is an adaptation of Jiří Marek's short stories from the collections Panoptikum starých kriminálních příběhů (Panopticon of Old Criminal Stories) and Panoptikum hříšných lidí (Panopticon of Sinful People). The story takes place around 1928. The series was loosely followed by four feature films and one television film (all from 1971 to 1972) and the television series Panoptikum města pražského (1988).
