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

I delitti del cuoco (English: The Chef's Crimes) is an Italian crime-comedy television series starring Bud Spencer, directed by Alessandro Capone, shot in Ischia and freely inspired by the Nero Wolfe character from the eponymous US 1981 TV series (itself adapted from novels and stories by Rex Stout). Produced by Spencer's son Giuseppe Pedersoli's Smile Productions company, the series ran for only one season in 2010 on Canale 5. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
