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

The Face Vietnam (Vietnamese: Gương mặt thương hiệu in season 1–2 or Gương mặt Người mẫu Việt Nam in season 3–4) is a Vietnamese modeling–themed reality television series, based on the US television series of the same name, and one of several national editions in the international The Face franchise. The show is where coaches, often famous models and actors, compete to find "the face" for brands, through modeling and advertising challenges. In The Face, only the Vietnamese version includes both male and female contestants in the same season, unlike the U.S., U.K., and Australian versions which only feature female contestants, and the Thai version which separates male and female contestants. Vietnam has a long-standing tradition and a less open fashion industry. The resounding success of The Face in Vietnam has led to the creation of many copycat programs without official licensing.
