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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Brezhnev (Russian: Брежнев) is a 2005 biographical TV movie about Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. It originally aired in four parts on Russia's Channel One. The movie was an expensive period piece partly filmed in the Kremlin. While nostalgic, the film does not attempt to rehabilitate Brezhnev. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
