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

Adulthood (French: L'Âge adulte) is a Canadian comedy-drama web series, which premiered in 2017 on Ici TOU.TV. The series focuses on Alex, Tom and Lucille-Maude Noël, three young adult siblings whose lives undergo significant changes that send shock waves through their family dynamics, with each season centring on a personal crisis in one of their lives. The first season centres on the aftermath of Alex (Mickaël Gouin) coming out as gay and breaking up with his fiancée Amélie (Mylène Mackay) after waking up from a brief coma following a football injury; the second season focuses on the aftermath of the accidental death of his fraternal twin brother Tom's (Guillaume Lambert) husband Bastien (Marc Beaupré); the third season unfolds with their younger sister Lucille-Maude (Sarah-Anne Parent) in a coma following an accident. Throughout the series, an ongoing storyline also focuses on the revelation that the Noëls also have a Black Canadian half sister named Shonda Diallo (Sharon James) whom they never knew, from a relationship their father Léonard (Richard Fréchette) had before marrying their mother. The first season of the series was directed by François Jaros, while the second and third seasons were directed by Guillaume Lonergan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
