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 410 is a Canadian drama web series, which premiered on CBC Gem on May 2, 2019. Created by and starring Supinder Wraich, the series centres on Suri, a young Indo-Canadian woman who is drawn into a life of crime after her truck driver father Sahib Rana is arrested for smuggling cocaine. The series is set in the Indo-Canadian community of Brampton, Ontario, and is named for the city's Highway 410. It was inspired by real-life news stories about Indo-Canadian truck drivers being arrested for drug smuggling, and Wraich created the series because as an Indo-Canadian woman she rarely gets the opportunity to play complex characters who fall short of the idealized image of a stereotypical Asian overachiever. The series consists of three half-hour episodes, directed by Renuka Jeyapalan. The series received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Web Program or Series, Fiction at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
