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

A Patota is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo between 27 November 1972 and 29 March 1973, running for 101 episodes. It succeeded Bicho do Mato and was preceded by Helena, being the third 6 PM telenovela broadcast by TV Globo. It was the only telenovela created by Maria Clara Machado. It was directed by Reynaldo Boury and produced in black and white. Similarly to a large part of programs produced before 1975 by TV Globo, it was completely lost in a fire which affected TV Globo's collection in 1976, and only teasers and behind-the-scenes images survive.
