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
Tveir á báti (English: lit. Two on a Boat, play of words lost in translation) is an Icelandic television series that first aired on Icelandic public television channel Sjónvarpið in December 1992. The series is a part of Jóladagatal Sjónvarpsins, an ongoing series of televised Advent calendars. It was written by Kristín Atladóttir, an assistant producer at Sjónvarpið at the time. The show follows Séra Jón, played by Gísli Halldórsson, who gets stranded in the middle of the ocean in early December after his boat runs out of fuel, and his encounters with an anthropomorphic polar bear, played by Kjartan Bjargmundsson. Among other players is Steinn Ármann Magnússon. Tveir á báti was rerun on Sjónvarpið in December 2000. A physical advent calendar containing leads to each episode's plot was published in conjunction with the initial airing of the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
