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.

Set in both 1999 and present time, in Bahia, Segundo Sol gives a trajectory of singer, Beto Falcão, who is forced to fake his death in order to save his family from financial turmoil.
