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

Yek Jahan Yek Jam (Persian: یک جهان یک جام, transl. A World A Cup) was a live television program covering the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The program was produced by Hossein Zokaei and hosted by Reza Javdani and Mohammad Reza Ahmadi. It was the most watched Iran media program for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Yek Jahan Yek Jam started on 10 June 2010 and ended on 11 July 2010 with the end of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The program covered topics such as World Cup news, technical expertise of matches, introduction of countries, margins of matches and live broadcast of matches. One of the key guests of the program was Afshin Ghotbi, the then head coach of the Iranian national football team, who appeared on the program on 5 July 2010 after returning from South Africa. During the broadcast of the program, criticisms were leveled at the design, execution, poor decor, repetitive guests, and not-so-extraordinary experts of the program. Amir Haj Rezaei, Morteza Mohasses and Houshang Nasirzadeh were the main experts of this program. According to media reports, more than 80 million text messages were sent to this program during the cup. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
