The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

The Elusive Avengers (Russian: Неуловимые мстители, translit. Neulovimye mstiteli) is a 1967 Soviet action adventure film by Mosfilm. Directed by Edmond Keosayan, the screenplay by Keosayan and Sergei Yermolinsky is loosely based on the novel Red Devils by Pavel Blyakhin, which was previously adapted in 1923. The film is an example of Ostern, set in Russia during the Russian Civil War of 1917-1923. Two sequels, both also directed by Keosayan, followed, The New Adventures of the Elusive Avengers (1968) and The Crown of the Russian Empire, or Once Again the Elusive Avengers (1971).
