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

After Death (Russian: По́сле сме́рти, Pósle smérti, "After death") is a 1915 Russian film directed by Yevgeni Bauer. It is based on the novella Klara Milich by Ivan Turgenev. After the October Revolution, the Cinema Committee had the film's title changed to Klara Milich to associate it more with Turgenev, as they did not approve of Bauer's significant departures from the original text.
