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

Il commissario Manara (Italian for 'Commissioner Manara') is an Italian police procedural television series. It is a spin-off from the 2005 series, Una famiglia in giallo (Italian for 'A Family in Yellow'). Like that earlier series, the show is a romantic comedy and police procedural. Guido Caprino plays the titular police officer, Luca Manara. The series consists of two seasons of twelve episodes each: the first was broadcast from 8 January to 12 February 2009 on Rai 1, while the second aired from 3 March 2011 on the same network. A third series, of which the story arc had already been laid out, was not completed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
