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

O Rebu (Literally English: The Fuss, International Title: The Party) is a Brazilian late night telenovela written by George Moura and Sérgio Goldenberg (based on Bráulio Pedroso's original story) and directed by José Luiz Villamarim. O Rebu's plot is loosely based on the 1974 telenovela of the same name, featuring an innovative narrative: the whole story takes place in 24 hours. In three different times, party, next day with the investigation and flashbacks with the suspects' past. A total of 36 half-hour episodes were broadcast on TV Globo between 14 July to 12 September 2014. The international version contains 20 episodes. The telenovela stars Patrícia Pillar, Tony Ramos, Sophie Charlotte and Daniel de Oliveira in lead roles, while the supporting cast includes Cássia Kis and José de Abreu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
