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

Vänner och fiender (Friends and Foes) is a Swedish soap opera that aired between 1996 and 2000. It was produced by Jarowskij and first broadcast on TV3, but in 1997 Kanal 5 purchased the rights to broadcast it. The channel did so until 2000 when the show was cancelled. A total of 720 episodes were shot. The show takes place in a fictional town called Erikshamn. A Norwegian version named Venner og fiender was also produced on sister network TVNorge in 1998, with a total of 170 episodes. However, disappointingly low viewership (33,000 viewers out of a potential 200,000) caused the last 30 episodes to never be aired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
