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

Tussen wal en schip was een Vlaams-Nederlandse dramaserie die van 1976 tot 1977 tegelijk op de BRT en op VARA werd uitgezonden. De titel is gebaseerd op de uitdrukking "tussen wal en schip vallen". Het scenario, gebaseerd op de schippersstaking van 1975, was van de Vlaamse schrijver Libera Carlier en Richard Hendrickx. De reeks gaat over schipper Ben Seinen (Kees Brusse) en zijn vrouw Martha (Dora van der Groen), die varen op hun spits Actief. De grote reder Glas (Bob de Lange), probeert op allerlei manieren alle schippers onder zijn contract te krijgen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
