Yoav, a young Israeli, is determined to wipe out his origins and become French. In Paris, he abandons the Hebrew language and strives in all sorts of ways to find a new identity. He mutters French words he picks up from his French dictionary but after a while he learns that being French also comes with a set of rules. A tragicomic puzzle that wisely knows how to keep its secrets.
