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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Maat (Urdu: مات, lit. 'Defeat') is a Pakistani television series that premiered on Hum TV on 9 September 2011. The series is based on an Urdu novel of the same name by Umera Ahmad. It stars Saba Qamar and Aamina Sheikh as the contrasting sisters who take divergent paths driven by their choices and actions. The last episode of the series was telecasted on 24 February 2012. Maat garnered mixed critical response, with praise for the leads' performances, but criticism for lacking nuance.
