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

Wait for Me (Hebrew: עד שתחזור) is an Israeli drama film written and directed by Sari Azoulay Turgeman. The film stars Hallel Yannay Shani and Daniel Litman. It premiered in 2022 and was released theatrically in Israel on 24 April 2025. Maya (Yannay Shani), a skilled young sailor trained by her father, sets off alone on a secretive mission to reach a cargo ship where he works—without her mother's knowledge. When she arrives in Cyprus to find the ship has already departed, she must rely on the help of a reluctant local sailor (Litman) to continue her journey. As hidden motives come to light, her voyage becomes a suspenseful and emotional quest for truth and connection. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
