The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

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
Bumbarash (Russian: «Бумбараш», romanized: Bumbarash) is a 1971 Soviet adventure film, a musical comedy in two episodes loosely based on some early works and the novel Bumbarash by Arkady Gaidar. During the Russian Civil War, former Imperial Russian Army Private Bumbarash, formerly a prisoner of war in Austria, is returning to his home village, where all, including his beloved girlfriend, believe he is dead. Control of the village periodically changes between the Whites, Reds and "bandits". Bumbarash tries to survive in this chaos and to return to his love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
