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.

How it feels

This series follows ordinary people dealing with small everyday problems, like having a boss who takes credit for their work, facing temptations of infidelity, or buying tight pants in a hopeful mood. It shows people in love, sometimes with the wrong person, and generally captures the messy and usable parts of life.

What happens

Porca misèria fue una serie de televisión producida por Televisió de Catalunya y Arriska Films, escrita, dirigida y protagonizada por Joel Joan. Consta de cuatro temporadas de trece capítulos cada una, que se emitieron por TV3 entre el 25 de noviembre de 2004 y el 23 de diciembre de 2007. La cotidianidad se adueña de cada uno de los rincones de esta serie que cuenta historias de personas que tienen jefes que se atribuyen méritos ajenos, de personas vulnerables a la infidelidad, de gente que se compra pantalones estrechos pensando que adelgazará en unos días, de personas enamoradas, aunque sea de la persona equivocada. En resumen: de personas. El lema más conocido de los creadores de la serie es: «Porque la vida es como un cerdo: se aprovecha todo». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
