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 Told Sunset About You / I Promised You the Moon (known in Thai as แปลรักฉันด้วยใจเธอ; RTGS: Plae Rak Chan Duai Chai Thoe, lit. 'interpret my love with your heart') is a Thai coming-of-age series by Nadao Bangkok. It stars Putthipong Assaratanakul (Billkin) and Krit Amnuaydechkorn (PP) as teenage boys Teh and Oh-aew, and explores their relationship as they come to terms with identity, teenage angst, and love. The series comprises two parts, with five episodes each. Part 1, titled I Told Sunset About You, is directed by Naruebet Kuno, and follows Teh and Oh-aew's lives in Phuket as they prepare for university admissions, while part 2, titled I Promised You the Moon and directed by Tossaphon Riantong, picks up after their entry into university and is set in Bangkok. The series was released via the Line TV streaming platform, with episodes shown weekly on Thursdays at 20:00. Part 1 was released from 22 October to 19 November 2020, and part 2 from 27 May to 24 June 2021. A 14-minute short film, titled Last Twilight in Phuket, was released on 20 May 2021, serving as a thematic bridge between the two parts. The series was available outside Thailand through Vimeo. Part 1 of the series was well received, with praise given for its story, performances and cinematography. The series is accompanied by a behind-the-scenes documentary series, as well as original songs and music videos, as part of the promotion plan BKPP Project. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
