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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Outskirts (Russian: Окра́ина, meaning "fringe" or "periphery"), also known in English as The Patriots or by the transliterated Russian title Okraina, is a 1933 Soviet film directed by Boris Barnet. Outskirts is said to have the distinction to be the only Soviet-era film, before World War II, to deal exclusively with World War I. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
