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
In 1964, a village in Galilee is under Israeli military rule. The local Mukhtar collaborates with the authorities while someone forges work permits. The Mukhtar's son and a metalsmith named Mahmud both want to marry the same woman. When the village teacher is arrested for the forgeries, conflicts escalate and lead to tragedy.
