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

Gharam wa intiqam (English: Love and Revenge) is a 1944 Egyptian film directed by Youssef Wahbi. This drama was a great success in its time, partially due to the unexpected death of its star in a car accident, the famous singer Asmahan, when she was only 31. Several of Asmahan's most successful songs were recorded for this movie, such as Layali el Ouns fi Vienna (Nights of Love in Vienna), and Emta Hata'raf (When Will You Know).
