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.
How it feels

What happens
Ukhar Kupets (Russian: Ухарь купец; the title is variously translated as The Dashing Merchant or The Happy-Go-Lucky Merchant) is a 1909 silent (Russian-language intertitles) short drama film shot by the Moscow division of the French company Pathé Frères. It was the first hand-colored Russian film. It was based on the folk song known under the same title based on the 1859 short poem Ехал из ярмарки ухарь-купец by Ivan Nikitin.
