Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Israeli co-writer/director Nadav Lapid’s unusual migration drama follows Yoav (Tom Mercier): a young Israeli man who is determined to erase his national identity and become French. With the help of a Franco-Israeli dictionary, he resolves to stop speaking Hebrew, put his troubled past behind him, and ace his upcoming naturalisation test.
