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

In Pursuit of Peace (何日军再来) is a Singaporean period drama television series set in Japanese-occupied Singapore during World War II, and was first aired on MediaCorp Channel 8 from 9 March to 11 May 2001 on Friday evenings. The series is based on the 1999 book Eternal Vigilance: The Price of Freedom published by Asiapac Books which contains numerous eyewitness accounts of survivors of the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia. In contrast with The Price of Peace, a similar television series aired on MediaCorp Channel 8 in 1997, In Pursuit of Peace focuses more on developing the main characters' stories, while the former places greater emphasis on the historical aspects of the Japanese occupation.
