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.
How it feels
A group of misfits gets mixed up in a criminal plot. The film follows their crude and disorderly adventures. It is a Portuguese low-budget comedy with deliberately exaggerated characters.

What happens
Balas & Bolinhos (portugiesisch für: Kugeln und Kroketten, gemeint sind die Bolinhos de Bacalhau) ist eine portugiesische Kriminalkomödie des Regisseurs Luís Ismael aus dem Jahr 2000. Der Low-Budget-Film war der erste Teil einer Balas & Bolinhos-Trilogie. Dank der überzeichneten Charaktere und deren ungezügelter Umgangssprache mit viel Lokalkolorit hatte der Film unerwartet viele Zuschauer und erreichte einen anhaltenden Kultstatus vor allem bei einem eher jungen Publikum. 2004 folgte Balas & Bolinhos – O Regresso, 2012 Balas & Bolinhos – O Último Capítulo.
