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.

How it feels

Two boys who are friends go fishing until nightfall. They see something shining in the forest, which turns out to be the Moon taking a bath in a lake. They decide to catch the Moon, thinking it is not needed anymore, but this causes chaos all over the world. The boys realize their mistake and, with help from other friends, set the Moon free.

What happens

«Украденный месяц» — советский мультипликационный фильм режиссёра Петра Носова по мотивам сказки Людвига Ашкенази. Два мальчика-друга до ночи ловили рыбу. Собравшись уходить, они увидели, как что-то светится в лесу. Это был Месяц. Он решил искупаться в озере, чтобы ярче светить. Проказники решили поймать его, решив, что Месяц теперь никому не нужен. Но они глубоко ошибались. В мире начался настоящий хаос. Мальчики понимают свою вину и, вместе с остальными друзьями, освобождают Месяц. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
