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 Heir to the Throne (Chinese: 家族榮耀之繼承者) is a Hong Kong family drama television series co-produced by the Chinese streaming platform Youku and Hong Kong's Media Asia. Starring Charmaine Sheh, Raymond Lam, and Him Law, it follows the affluent Yau family as internal rivalries and power struggles threaten their empire. Although marketed as a sequel to 2022's Modern Dynasty, the storyline is completely independent from the original series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
