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

Novela (también denominado Telenovela, Novela seriada, Novela I, Novela II y Novela de noche) es un espacio dramático producido por Televisión Española (TVE) entre 1963 y 1978. Consiste en la adaptación al medio televisivo, y en formato serializado, de una obra literaria de carácter narrativo, tanto novelas como cuentos de autores clásicos o contemporáneos, o bien textos originales expresamente escritos para el programa; esporádicamente se escenificaron obras teatrales y episodios de series dramáticas extranjeras. Tales producciones se dividen en capítulos de entre 15 y 30 minutos que se emitían consecutivamente de forma diaria, de lunes a viernes, salvo excepciones debidas, por ejemplo, a coincidencia horaria con una retransmisión deportiva, en cuyo caso se emitían dos episodios sucesivos en una fecha posterior. Cada adaptación podía abarcar una o varias semanas de emisión. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
