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
A group of friends in early 1970s Tel Aviv get into comedic situations involving voyeurism and everyday life. The film follows their antics as they spy on people from a beachside apartment. It is a wry look at human behavior and social mores.

What happens
Metzitzim (Hebrew: מציצים, English title: Peeping Toms) is a 1972 Israeli New Sensibility comedy film directed by Uri Zohar. It was written by Zohar and Arik Einstein. It is the first of Zohar's Tel Aviv Trilogy of films, and was followed by Big Eyes (1974) and Save the Lifeguard (הצילו את המציל, Hatzilu Et HaMatzil, 1977). It was not an initial box office success in Israel. It was entered into the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival in June 1973, where it was well received. In the 1980s, it garnered a cult film status as a favourite of Tel Aviv's arthouse cinemas and through wider VCR distribution. It is widely regarded as one of Israel's greatest films of all time.
