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
Kingdoms of Fire (Arabic: ممالك النار, romanized: Mamalik Al-Nar) is an Arabic Anti-Ottoman historical drama television series about the reign of the Ottoman Empire's Selim I and the Mamluk Sultanate's Tuman bay II, created by Muhammed Abdulmalik and directed by British director Peter Webber. The 14-episode series was produced by Genomedia Studios with a budget of $40 million, financed and supported by the government of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the originator of the series, and filmed in Tunisia. It debuted on MBC channels on 17 November 2019. Fatima Bhutto of Foreign Policy wrote that the show is "an expensive salvo against Turkey’s cultural neo-Ottomanism" and that the director was chosen for "added cachet". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
