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

The Storm Gate (Russian: Грозовые ворота, translit. Grozove vorota) is a 2006 Russian war drama miniseries directed by Andrey Malyukov. The film is a dramatization of the real-life Battle for Height 776 which was fought for control of the Argun River gorge during the Second Chechen War. The film is based off the novel The Company Goes to Heaven by Russian author Aleksandr Tamonikov. The series original title was planned to be "The 6th Company" (Russian: 6 рота), however, due to the release of Fyodor Bondarchuk's 2005 film 9th Company (Russian: 9 рота), the series name was changed to "The Storm Gate".
