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

The Swindler (Spanish: El Encantador), is a Colombian telenovela created by Caracol Televisión, from a screenplay by César Betancur, and directed by Víctor Mallarino. The series revolves around Rolando Castaño (Diego Cadavid), a man who, after finishing high school, decides to begin "negotiating" in a clandestine way to create his own company. In addition to his good physique and his way of speaking, he manages to conquer all the women in his neighborhood, which brings him many problems. The telenovela premiered on 4 February 2010, but due to its poor reception and poor premiere rating, the network decided to take it off the air three days after its premiere. It is considered some more unsuccessful telenovela in Colombian television history. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
