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

La famiglia Benvenuti (literally "The Benvenuti Family") is an Italian comedy television series that originally ran on RAI from 1968 to 1970. Two seasons were produced: the first shot in black and white, the second, experimentally, was instead made in color, although the RAI had not yet adopted this technique (the color broadcasts officially started only eight years later).
