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

The Voronins (Russian: Воронины, romanized: Voroniny) is a Russian adaptation of the American TV show Everybody Loves Raymond, broadcast from 2009 to 2019. Starting with the 211th episode to its 552nd (and final) episode, the show featured original scripts by the adaptation writers and Jeremy Stevens, a writer on the original American series. The show's main stars are Georgy Dronov, Yekaterina Volkova, Boris Klyuyev, Stanislav Duzhnikov, Anna Frolovtseva. Duzhnikov gained 20 kg in order to get the role. During the filming of the show's 455th episode, it was inducted into the Guinness Book of Records as the longest adapted television show in the world. In 2015 the show was one of the top five most-watched Russian programs that were not series premieres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
