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.

The director of the series is Vladimír Skórka, who also participated in the script together with Martin Šimíček, Michal Suchánek and Petr Koleček. In the spring of 2020, three parts of the series were broadcast. In autumn, however, thanks to the fan response, the creators decided to shoot two more parts. And in the summer of 2021, three more parts were broadcast. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
