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

The film shows life in the Arabian Peninsula before Islam, where people worship idols and corruption is widespread. It then depicts the start of Muhammad's message calling for monotheism and the early hardships faced by Muslims.

What happens

يتناول العمل حياة شبه الجزيرة العربية قبل أن يظهر فيها الإسلام، حيث كانت الحياة عبارة عن عبادة للأصنام، والجهل والفساد منتشر في كل الأرجاء، ثم تبدأ الرسالة المحمدية التي تدعو إلى عبادة الله وحده، لتبدأ حينها الصعاب التي تواجه الإسلام والمسلمون الأوائل. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
