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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Entrei de gaiato é um filme brasileiro de 1959, dos gêneros musical e comédia chanchada, dirigido por J.B. Tanko. Januário é um vigarista que, com ajuda de seus amigos igualmente trapaceiros, se hospeda no requintado Hotel Palácio, fazendo-se passar por um rico fazendeiro de cacau a fim de roubar e enganar turistas. Ananásia é uma viúva que também se torna hóspede do mesmo hotel, com quase o mesmo plano: fingir ser milionária para conseguir casar com algum "velho" endinheirado. De imediato, Januário e Ananásia começam a namorar. No entanto, as mentiras sobre suas riquezas os fazem alvos de ladrões internacionais de joias que estavam entre os hóspedes.
