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.

Produced by Filmmaker R&K, the film stars Zo In-sung, Park Jeong-min, Park Hae-joon, and Shin Se-kyung, and follows South and North Korean intelligence agents who clash in Vladivostok, while investigating a criminal incident at the border. Distributed by Next Entertainment World (NEW), the film was released on February 11, 2026.
