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.

What happens
Big Eyes (Hebrew: עיניים גדולות, translit. Einayim G’dolot) is a 1974 Israeli New Sensibility comedy-drama directed by Uri Zohar. It was written by Yaakov Shabtai and Zohar. It is the second of Zohar's Tel Aviv Trilogy of films, preceded by Metzitzim (Peeping Toms) (1972) and followed by Save the Lifeguard (הצילו את המציל, Hatzilu Et HaMatzil, 1977). The film stars Zohar and long-time collaborator, Arik Einstein. It was shot in black and white. It is the penultimate film that Zohar starred and directed in, before leaving behind an entertainment career to become a chozer b'teshuvah (returnee to religious observance) and rabbi.
