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

Thuis (English: At Home) is a Belgian television soap opera, which airs on VRT 1, which is in the hands of VRT, the national broadcasting channel of the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, Flanders. Until 2023 VRT produced the series but due to general cost savings it was decided in 2022 Eyeworks will take over the series. Thuis first aired on 23 December 1995, featuring Pol Goossen, Janine Bischops, Merel De Vilder Robier, Sally-Jane Van Horenbeeck, Annick Segal, Monika Van Lierde, Rik Andries and the late Donald Madder. Thuis grew to become Flanders' number one soap, gaining 900,000 viewers (compared to the highest rated TV show, receives 1.5 million viewers), and therefore beating competing for channel vtm's soap operas Familie (English: Family) and former series Wittekerke (English: White Church, a fictional town). Thuis is currently in its 31th season, and has aired 5,894 episodes as of 27 June 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
