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

Lili en Marleen was een televisieserie op VTM over het wel en wee van de bewoners van café De Lichttoren vanaf de Tweede Wereldoorlog tot aan het einde van de jaren 1960 in Antwerpen. De serie is gebaseerd op het gelijknamige toneelstuk van Walter Van de Velde, dat voor het eerst werd opgevoerd door het Reizend Volkstheater in 1987. Op groot verzoek wordt deze serie vanaf 6 juni 2025 terug uitgezonden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
