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 follows characters in both rural and urban Pakistan as they navigate issues like illiteracy, injustice, legal disputes, and family conflict. It explores how these social problems affect relationships and choices across generations.

What happens
Rahain is a Pakistani television serial written and directed for Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) by Mansha Yaad and Tariq Jameel respectively. It was broadcast from PTV's Lahore centre and consists of seventeen episodes. Sources differ on whether the serial first aired in 1998 or 1999. The serial is based on the Punjabi novel Taawan Taawan Tara by Mansha Yaad, though Yaad later maintained that the television serial Raahain was conceived as an independent project distinct from the novel. The story examines social issues across rural and urban settings in Pakistan, including illiteracy, injustice, legal disputes, and intergenerational family conflict. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
