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

«Живой труп» — драма в 30 сценах, снятая в 1911 году режиссёрами В. Кузнецовым и Борисом Чайковским по одноимённой пьесе Л. Н. Толстого. По воспоминаниям Луи Форестье сюжет фильма и его название остались не понятными для зрителей, так как главный герой Протасов все время пил и танцевал у цыган. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
