Yoav, a young Israeli, walks to Paris with the hope that France and the French will save him from the madness of his country. For him, being Israeli is like a tumour that must be removed. Becoming French, on the other hand, would simply mean his salvation. Upon arrival in the city, Yoav is literally naked, with no possessions or identity. He is thus reborn, turning his back on Israel and Hebrew, and establishes an intricate and sensual relationship with his benefactor Émile and his girlfriend Caroline.
