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

Khaleej (Urdu: خلیج, lit. 'Gulf') is a 1986 Pakistani television drama series written by Imran Aslam, produced and directed by Sahira Kazmi. It was the debut television serial of Sajid Hasan. The series is notable for its soundtrack, which featured Tina Sani's rendition of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's ghazal Gar mujhe is ka yakeen ho.... The choice was considered unconventional, as Faiz was subject to an official ban from radio and television during the regime of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
