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

Krishnadasi is an Indian Tamil-language soap opera. It aired on Sun TV from 14 February 2000 to 25 October 2001. The show stars Gemini Ganesan alongside Nalini, Vietnam Veedu Sundaram, Ranjitha, Aravind Akash, and Suja Raghuram. The show was produced by Prabhoo Nepaul. It is based on the novel written by Indra Soundar Rajan. The title track was composed by D. Imman and sung by Nithyasree Mahadevan. Krishnadasi notably marked the last performance of Gemini Ganesan in a character role. It also marked the re-entry of actress Nalini into the media after a post-marriage 14-year hiatus, the debut of choreographer Raghuram's daughter Suja Raghuram as an actress and choreographer in television. The title sequence is the first song composed by the music director D. Imman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
