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

Avec un grand A is a French-Canadian drama television series comprising 52 episodes which aired from February 19, 1986 to March 22, 1996 on Télé-Québec. Created and written by Janette Bertrand, the series dealt with issues impacting romance and/or relationships, with each episode tackling a different subject and featuring different characters and situations. Some notable subjects included being closeted and married, prostitution, illness, rape, domestic violence and suicide. Although not its official title, the series is sometimes referred to as L'amour avec un grand A (Love With a Capital "L") because the series' DVD set released in 2005, featuring ten episodes, had that title on the box. It is also the title of the series' theme song, sung by Ginette Reno. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
