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

Sono toki Heartwa Nusumareta (その時ハ-トは盜まれた, Sono toki Hātowa nusumareta; lit. "At that moment, my heart was stolen") is a five-part drama that aired on Fuji TV. It first aired in Japan from November 19, 1992 to December 17, 1992. It features a theme song by Yumi Matsutoya (Fuyu no Owari). It is one of the earliest Japanese television dramas to depict same-sex attraction between women, as part of the increased visibility of queer themes during the early 1990s 'gay boom' in Japanese media.
