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
In Mughal-era Persia, a nobleman orders his soldiers to find a man trustworthy enough to commit a crime. They bring back a beggar-thief named Yusuf Ustad, who is tasked with abducting and killing a child who will become the future king. Yusuf cannot bring himself to kill the child and instead fakes the murder, raising the prince on the streets of the Chor Bazar as a beggar and thief.
