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
An eight-year-old Ethiopian Israeli boy named Yitshak dreams of becoming a film director like Spike Lee. In his neighborhood, Yitshak observes his aunt Almaz as she wants to marry a distant cousin against family tradition, his brother Gili tries to join the army despite a brother killed in war, and his parents disagree over whether he should go to a religious school or a soccer academy.
