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.
How it feels
An American conductor tours Russia in the late 1930s and falls in love with a Soviet pianist. They get married just before Germany invades the country and they must navigate the hardships of war.

What happens
Song of Russia is a 1944 American war film made and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
