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

《女媧行動》（英語：Newark File），是香港麗的電視在1981年拍攝的一部電視劇，由朱江及張瑛主演，共10集。首播於1981年4月27日。此劇曾於1994年在亞洲電視重播，於2009年1月6日起16:9重播。第二次重播前亚视曾多次在其官网上宣布会在2008年间重播该剧，但最终都取消。 這電視劇以政治阴谋暗杀为主题，即使在廿一世紀的今日來看，亦是很大膽。由于经费有限，拍摄该题材也很困难，这套剧只能够拍摄十集，不同于一般最少20集的香港电视剧。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
