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

Didi – Der Untermieter is a German television series. ZDF initially broadcast the series under the name Die Nervensäge. However, the title had to be changed later due to a legal dispute. The show is based on the 1982 BBC series Goodbye, Mr Kent, which is adapted from the Broadway play The Odd Couple by Neil Simon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
