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

What happens

Quatuor est une série télévisée québécoise d'anthologie en 32 épisodes d'environ 25 minutes diffusée du 22 septembre 1955 au 24 septembre 1959 à la Télévision de Radio-Canada. Chaque histoire se boucle en quatre épisodes. À l'été 1960, la série revient sous le même concept, mais chacune des quatre histoires se bouclent en trois épisodes, et change donc de titre pour Trio.
