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
Farewell (Russian: Прощание, romanized: Proshchanie) is a 1983 Soviet drama film based on Valentin Rasputin's novel Farewell to Matyora and directed by Larisa Shepitko and Elem Klimov. It was Shepitko's last film. She died during filming in 1979 and her husband Elem replaced her as director.
