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

A Baltic Tragedy (Swedish: Baltutlämningen) is a 1970 Swedish drama film directed by Johan Bergenstråhle. It was entered into the 20th Berlin International Film Festival. The film is based on Per Olov Enquist's Legionärerna: En roman om baltutlämningen (1968; English title: The Legionnaires: A Documentary Novel), which itself is based on the Swedish extradition of Baltic soldiers to the Soviet Union that took place in 1946.
