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.

What happens

Al-Taghriba Al-Filistinia (Arabic: التغريبة الفلسطينية, lit. 'The Palestinian Alienation') is a 2004 Syrian historical drama television series produced by Syrian Art Production International. The series was shot entirely in Syria. The series is a dramatic epic focused on a poor Palestinian family suffering under British rule in Mandatory Palestine, and then under massacres by Zionist militia groups between 1933 and 1967. The story takes place in an unnamed Palestinian village. The series was written by Walid Saif and directed by Hatem Ali, both of whom lived through the experiences of occupation, war, and displacement. This series marks their fourth consecutive collaboration with the same production company, following Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi, Saqr Quraysh, and Spring of Córdoba. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
