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

Unsettled is a 2021 Canadian drama television series that originally aired on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and TVO. Cheri Maracle stars as an Indigenous woman who was removed from her family as a child, during the Sixties Scoop, and is now attempting to reconnect to her heritage and her birth parents. A visit to her First Nation reserve in Northern Ontario becomes a more permanent stay when the business run by her husband (Brandon Oakes) fails, leaving their family destitute, and forcing them to relocate from Toronto to the reserve. The cast also includes Tamara Podemski, and Joshua Odjick, Glen Gould, and Sid Bobb appear in recurring roles. The series was created by Jennifer Podemski and Derek Diorio, and shot on Nipissing First Nation. Twenty percent of the dialogue is in Ojibwe, and a version of the series dubbed into that language completely was produced as well. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
