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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
The series is set in Tehran during World War II. It follows an eccentric middle-class Iranian family, focused on the bombastic patriarch who believes he is a secret military genius like Napoleon Bonaparte. The story unfolds through the eyes of a young relative living in the household.
