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

Casa e bottega è una miniserie televisiva italiana del 2013, diretto da Luca Ribuoli. La fiction narra la storia di Mario Trezzi, un imprenditore lombardo che ha costruito con sacrificio una fabbrica a conduzione familiare che non riesce più a sostenere la crisi economica e a reggere la concorrenza, soprattutto quella cinese. Il protagonista così sarà costretto a rivolgersi ad alcuni usurai dal momento che non avrà alcuna intenzione né di dichiarare fallimento né di localizzare la sua attività in paesi in cui la manodopera costa meno. Sarà la moglie di Mario, Teresa, ad evitare il peggio e ad aiutare il marito in questa impresa impossibile. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
