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

Jul i Tøyengata is a Norwegian televised advent calendar created by the Norwegian comedian Zahid Ali. The show is a parody on another Norwegian advent calendar Jul i Skomakergata from 1979, and is set in Tøyen, Oslo. The series received a "die throw" of 4 in Verdens Gang, 3 in Dagbladet and another mediocre review in Dagens Næringsliv. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
