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

«Каждый десятый» — советский фильм 1984 года режиссёра Михаила Ордовского. Гражданская война, Сибирь. Колчаковцы захватывают в плен отряд красноармейцев, и намерены расстрелять каждого десятого. Но в ночь накануне расстрела пять красноармейцев бегут из плена, оказываясь в тылу у белых. Случайно взяв в плен офицера разведки, от него узнают, что вскоре по реке должен пройти пароход с оружием и боеприпасами для предстоящего контрнаступления белых. Пять бойцов, из которых одна девушка, решаются на дерзкую операцию — и теперь перед ними задача остановить пароход, незаметно захватить его, а затем провести мимо колчаковцев к красным.
