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

Novine (English: The Paper), is a Croatian drama television series created by Ivica Đikić, a journalist who had served as editor-in-chief of Rijeka's Novi list several years earlier. The story takes place in Rijeka, as it describes the life and work of a journalist and editor of a fictitious Novine, which is considered to be the last independent and "serious" newspaper in Croatia. The series was broadcast on HRT from 16 October 2016 to 4 May 2020. On 3 April 2018, it was announced that Novine is set to become the first Croatian-language drama series to be released on Netflix.
