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.
How it feels

What happens
Grandpas Over Flowers (Korean: 꽃보다 할배; RR: Kkotboda halbae) is a South Korean travel-reality show that airs on tvN. The title is a word play/parody of Boys Over Flowers (花より男子, Hana Yori Dango), a popular Japanese manga about four handsome young men (Boys Over Flowers also refers to the 2009 adaptation of the manga from South Korea). The series stars four veteran actors in their seventies — Lee Soon-jae, Shin Goo, Park Geun-hyung and Baek Il-seob — as they go on a backpacking tour to overseas travel destinations alongside Lee Seo-jin, an actor in his forties. Grandpas Over Flowers became a cultural phenomenon, receiving high ratings for a Korean cable program and spawning several spin-offs and remakes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
