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

Vidas em Jogo (English: Lives at Stake, International Title: Jackpot!) is a Brazilian primetime telenovela created by Cristianne Fridman and directed by Alexandre Avancini. The series premiered on May 3, 2011 and ended on April 9, 2012 on Rede Record at the 10 p.m. timeslot. A total of 245 episodes of 45 minutes were produced. Due to the 2011 Pan American Games, Vidas em Jogo was preempted on October 14 and 30, so when first shown in Brazil, episodes 242–245 were shown as a separate 90-minute two episodes. In other countries, these final four episodes were aired separately. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
