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
The Skies are Closer in Homesh (Hebrew: בחומש קרוב לשמיים), also called Hitna'ari (Hebrew: התנערי) is a 2004 documentary film that follows a newlywed Jewish couple through their first few years of married life in the Israeli settlement of Homesh in the West Bank as they experience, and recover from, a terrorist attack. It is based on the real-life experience of director Menora Hazani and her family who lived on the settlement. Produced by Manora Hasani-Katzover, daughter of Benny Katzover, co-founder of ultranationalist activist group Gush Emunim, it has been described as "clearly an almost didactic, right-wing film".
