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

Once and Again is an American family drama television series, created by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, which aired on ABC from September 21, 1999, to April 15, 2002. It depicts the family of a single mother, played by Sela Ward, and her romance with a single father, played by Billy Campbell. One of the show's then-unique aspects was the "interview" sequences filmed in black and white and interspersed throughout each episode, where the characters would reveal their innermost thoughts and memories to the camera. Ward won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama for her performance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
