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

Slow Boat Home (Chinese: 情越海岸線; literally "love exceeds the coastline") is a 2013 Hong Kong romantic comedy television drama produced by Leung Choi-yuen and TVB, starring Raymond Wong Ho-yin, Ruco Chan and Aimee Chan. The show was conceived in late 2011 by Leung, who aspired to write a youthful television drama for the aging TVB. Slow Boat Home was produced at 25 episodes, and the first episode premiered on TVB Jade on 13 May 2013. The drama was primarily filmed in Cheung Chau. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
