Ali Baba und die 40 Räuber

You hawk trinkets in a bazaar where the air smells of cinnamon and stolen glances. A troop of cats slinks past, tails twitching in unison, and when you blink the next alley holds 38 of them staring. Before the seventh breath the alley folds into a lair where gold rains like scorn and every door speaks in feline. In an era when magic feels like another tax the film leaves you squinting at your own shadow, wondering which half of it wants to rule.
