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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
The film is a Yiddish-language adaptation of a 19th century play by Mendele Moicher Sforim. It follows the lives of poor Jewish people in a small town, focusing on their struggles and hopes.
