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

Taková normální rodinka (Just an Ordinary Family) was a Czechoslovak television programme which was first broadcast in 1971. The programme was directed by Jaroslav Dudek. Originally shot as a stand-alone situation comedy piece of approx. 45 minutes of length, that later became a pilot for a series of eight episodes. It takes place solely in one house. Taková normální rodinka was received positively, having scores of 8.2 at IMDb and 86% at ČSFD (Czechoslovak film database). Taková normální rodinka is considered to be the first (and by many Czechs and Slovaks the best) Czechoslovak sitcom. In 2006, it was released on DVD. In 2010 a follow-up, called Rodinka (Family) and directed by Dušan Klein, was released but didn't get anywhere near the acclaim of the original series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
