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
A boy is turned into a tiny person and joins a flock of wild geese on a journey across Sweden. Based on a classic children's book, the story follows his adventures and the lessons he learns along the way.

What happens
The Enchanted Boy (Russian: Заколдованный мальчик, Zakoldovanyy malchik) is a 1955 Soviet/Russia traditionally animated feature film directed by Vladimir Polkovnikov and Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya. The film is an adaptation of The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by Selma Lagerlöf and was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow.
