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

The Immigrant (Persian: مهاجر, romanized: Mohājer) is a 1990 Iranian film by the director Ebrahim Hatamikia. The movie is set in the Mesopotamian Marshes during the Iran–Iraq War, and is a fictional look at the deployment of the early generation of Qods Mohajer drone fighters on the battlefield. The movie was a critical success upon its release in 1990, and won the Crystal Simorgh award for best film (one of five Hatamikia films to win that award). Today, The Immigrant is seen as a milestone in the development of the Iranian film genre known as Sacred Defense cinema, which depicts the Iran–Iraq War's impact on Iran. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
