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

Il caso Maurizius รจ uno sceneggiato televisivo trasmesso dall'allora Programma Nazionale RAI nel 1961. Andato in onda in quattro puntate fra il 29 gennaio e il 19 febbraio, era tratto dal romanzo omonimo - Il caso Maurizius, appunto - scritto fra il 1925 ed il 1928 dallo scrittore tedesco Jakob Wassermann. L'adattamento e la regia televisiva erano firmati da uno dei padri degli sceneggiati televisivi Rai sin dalla prima ora: Anton Giulio Majano. I costumi erano a cura di Pier Luigi Pizzi. Il cast contava su interpreti di formazione teatrale e all'epoca assai prestigiosi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
