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

Dabing Street is a Czech comedy TV series. The plot is set in the summer of 2001 and describes what happens in a fictional dubbing company Studio ZERO after its owner dies. His widow takes over the company and tries to share the management of the studio with the employees. The series is based on the play of the same name by Dejvické Theatre, which won the title of Best Comedy of 2013 at the XIV. of the Grand Festival of Laughter in Pardubice. The actors of the Dejvické Theatre are therefore cast in most roles. Several well-known actors were cast in "civilian" roles playing themselves (e.g. cameo of Filip Švarek, Jiří Bartoška, Viktor Preiss). The dubbed foreign language scenes are not from actual films, but were filmed specifically for the series. It was a TV series debut for director Petr Zelenka. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
