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

Bolji život (Serbian Cyrillic: Бољи живот, lit. 'A Better Life') is a Yugoslav TV series with mixed elements of soap opera, comedy and drama that aired from 1987 to 1991. Created by the Radiotelevision Belgrade (RTB) it is considered to be the most successful TV show ever produced in Yugoslavia. Written by the most prolific Serbian screenwriter Siniša Pavić, the series helped jump start cinematic careers for many of its protagonists, most notably Dragan Bjelogrlić who would go on to become successful actor, director, and producer.
