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

Into the White (also known as Comrade, Lost in the Snow and Cross of Honour in the United Kingdom) is a 2012 wartime survival film directed by Petter Næss, written by Ole Meldgaard, Dave Mango and Petter Næss, and starring David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, Rupert Grint and Lachlan Nieboer. Loosely based on a real incident that occurred in Norway during the Norwegian campaign of World War II, the film follows a group of Royal Navy and Luftwaffe aviators who must cooperate to survive after crash-landing in remote Norway.
