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

『あしたがあるから』は、1991年10月18日から同年12月20日までTBS系列「金曜ドラマ」枠で放送されたドラマ。主演は今井美樹。脚本は内館牧子。 安部令子（27歳）（今井美樹）は短大卒業後に大手（東証一部上場企業）の城東商事（本社）に勤める平凡な会社員。同じ職場（建築資材部営業第一課）の課長補佐の反町健太（32歳）（石橋凌）と付き合いながら、ゆくゆくは結婚することに憧れていた。一方、山吹圭子（24歳）（仙道敦子）は城東商事の城之内敏光社長（47歳）（村井国夫）を父親に持つキャリアウーマン。バリバリ仕事をこなす傍らで、健太に密かな想いを寄せていた。 ある日、令子は社長の辞令で特別企画部の部長に抜擢され、圭子と、同僚の高見沢亜希（22歳）（中嶋朋子）、亜希と付き合いながらも圭子に憧れる若村良一（25歳）（福山雅治）たちとともに新規事業の企画立ち上げという大役を担うことになる。戸惑いを隠せない令子だが、恋敵でもあり仕事のできる圭子と時に反発し、同僚との様々な確執に揉まれながらもひとつのビジネスを思いつき、持ち前の明るさで事業を成し遂げようと奮闘する。しかしその裏には、令子の家族をも巻き込もうとする城之内社長の画策があった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
