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

Kiss Me Kosher (alternate title: Kiss Me Before It Blows Up) is a 2020 German–Israeli film directed and scripted by Venezuelan-born, Israel-raised and German-based Shirel Peleg. The story is based on the true-life love story of Peleg and her partner and is Peleg's debut feature-length film as a director. The film is about an Israeli woman named Shira (played by Moran Rosenblatt), and a German woman named Maria (played by Luise Wolfram), who through an initial misunderstanding become engaged to be married in Jerusalem. Shira's grandmother, Berta (played by Rivka Michaeli) tries to prevent this. Kiss Me Kosher started in German cinemas on September 10, 2020, and has since been playing in several international film festivals. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
