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

Grand Star (La Compagnie des Glaces in France) is a 2007 Canadian / French / Belgian co-production science fiction television series loosely based on the novel series La Compagnie des glaces by the French writer Georges-Jean Arnaud. It was filmed in Wallers-Arenberg, France, and originally broadcast in Canada on Space and in France on France 2. A multiplayer strategy game based on the TV series universe was launched in 2007. In the game, players compete by using their trains to gather money for energy source control. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
