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

«Петля» — трёхсерийный художественный фильм, экранизация одноимённого детектива А. Г. Адамова. Продолжение кинофильма «Инспектор Лосев». Роль инспектора Лосева, в отличие от книги, второго плана, сценарий выводит на первый план нового персонажа — инспектора Васильева. Изначально планировалось экранизировать всю трилогию романов об инспекторе Лосеве, но кинематографисты остановились на втором, при этом погубив героя. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
