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

Normali (Hebrew: נורמלי) is an Israeli television drama series created by Leore Dayan and Asaf Korman. It stars Roy Nik as the protagonist Noam Ashkenazi, a stressed young columnist with an unhealthy reliance on ritalin to achieve his deadlines. Rami Heuberger stars as Udi, Noam's father and Liron Ben-Shlush plays Noam's psychiatrist, Dr. Zarowski. It premiered on HOT on 4 November 2020. The series is inspired by Dayan's real-life short stay at a psychiatric hospital and his own illustrious family. He is the son of the film director, Assi Dayan and grandson of Moshe Dayan. Caroline Langford, Assi's ex-wife and Leore's mother, plays Noam's mother in the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
