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

El amor no es como lo pintan (transl. Love is not as it looks) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Juan David Burns and Elisa Salinas for TV Azteca. It was broadcast on Azteca Trece (now Azteca Uno) from Monday August 28, 2000 to Friday April 27, 2001 for 175 episodes. Contrary to popular belief, it was not an official remake of the popular Colombian telenovela, Yo soy Betty, la fea, but was merely an unauthorized ripoff created to capitalize on the popularity of the Colombian cultural phenomenon.
