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.
How it feels
This anthology series adapts six short stories by Canadian writer Carol Shields for television. Each episode tells a separate self-contained story about different characters and their lives.

What happens
The Shields Stories was a Canadian television drama series, which aired on W in 2004. A short-run dramatic anthology series produced by Shaftesbury Films, the series dramatized six short stories by Carol Shields. The series was a sequel of sorts to Shaftesbury's prior The Atwood Stories, which dramatized six short stories by another Canadian writer, Margaret Atwood. A third series, which would have dramatized short stories by Alice Munro, was planned but did not materialize. The series was a Gemini Award nominee for Best Drama Series at the 19th Gemini Awards.
