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

Las viudas fue una serie de TV emitida por TVE en 1977 protagonizada por Lola Herrera y con guiones de Francisco Ors. La serie narra, en tono de comedia, la forma en que afrontan su viudez diferentes mujeres (una en cada episodio) en distintos lugares y épocas, todas ellas interpretadas por la actriz Lola Herrera. Se ha puesto de manifiesto que en el episodio titulado Viuda romántica, se aborda por primera vez en televisión la posteriormente denominada violencia de género. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
