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

Van Speijk est une série télévisée policière néerlandaise en 26 épisodes de 52 minutes diffusée entre le 8 janvier 2006 et le 12 avril 2007 sur Talpa (renommée Tien lors de la deuxième saison), puis rediffusée sur RTL 4. Cette série est inédite dans tous les pays francophones. Se déroulant à Amsterdam, la série policière couvre toutes sortes de sujets différents tout à fait invraisemblables comme un homme musulman gay voulant se suicider. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
