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

Match​ o The Game (Матч en V.O.) es una película histórica y dramática rusa de 2012 dirigida por Andrey Malyukov.​ El film está basado en el conocido como Partido de la Muerte que enfrentó al equipo soviético del FC Start (conjunto formado por jugadores retirados del Dinamo y del Lokomotiv de Kiev) contra un combinado alemán formado por miembros de la Luftwaffe. El estreno de la película estuvo prevista para el 26 de abril de 2012. No obstante, tal producción levantó polémica en Ucrania (país anfitrión la Eurocopa 2012), por lo que el gobierno pidió que se retrasase su estreno en el país hasta que finalizara el campeonato por temor a que se produjeran altercados.​ (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
