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.
How it feels

What happens
Albert & Herbert was a Swedish comedy series that ran in 1974, 1976–1979, and 1981–82, in addition to an advent series and a theatre play titled Mordet på Skolgatan 15. It had a spin-off series in 1995. Albert & Herbert, which featured father-and-son scrap dealers living together, was an adaptation of Ray Galton and Alan Simpsons's BBC series Steptoe and Son from the 1960s and 1970s. Albert was played by Sten-Åke Cederhök, and the son Herbert was played by Tomas von Brömssen. During the first six episodes, Herbert was played by Lennart Lundh. The characters lived in a dilapidated wooden house in Skolgatan 15, in Haga, Gothenburg. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
