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

Ein Tag in … ist eine Terra-X-Dokumentationsreihe, die erstmals 2016 ausgestrahlt wurde. Die ZDF-Reihe stellt den Alltag vergangener Epochen anhand exemplarischer Tagesabläufe dar. Im Mittelpunkt jeder Episode steht jeweils eine fiktive Person, deren Tagesablauf beispielhaft für die betrachtete Epoche rekonstruiert wird. Der Fokus der Reihe liegt hierbei explizit auf dem Leben der durchschnittlichen Bevölkerung. Bei der vierten Staffel werden davon abweichend real existierende historische Personen dargestellt.
