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

Helen of Troy is a 2003 television miniseries based on Greek mythology, retelling the story of the Trojan War as recounted in Homer's epic poem the Iliad and the wider Trojan Cycle. The series was entirely shot on location in Malta. It came out a year before Troy, a major motion picture based on the same myths. It also shares its name with a 1956 film adaptation of the myths.
