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

Toen was geluk heel gewoon (When Happiness Was Very Common) was a popular Dutch television sitcom. It was broadcast on KRO from January 2, 1994, through June 3, 2009. The series, a Dutch adaptation of the American sitcom The Honeymooners, stars Gerard Cox and Sjoerd Pleijsier as friends and neighbors. Cox and his real-life spouse Joke Bruijs play spouses on the show. The show is the longest-running sitcom in the Netherlands. The show's title is taken from a song, "1948 (Toen was geluk heel gewoon)" by Kees van Kooten and Wim de Bie (Van Kooten en De Bie), later covered by Gerard Cox. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
