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.

Cemal is a man who lives with his father in Akhisar town of Manisa and works in his own barber shop. Cemal, who seems to be at his own pace, is in trouble, and even he doesn't know what's going on. On the other hand, in this town where almost everyone knows each other, seemingly ordinary people have extraordinary powers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
